EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mid-19th century, showcasing the grandeur of Highbury College in Islington, London. Designed by John Davies, this magnificent building served as a dissenting academy upon its completion in 1826. It was later amalgamated with New College London in 1854, transforming into a teacher training school. The architectural features of Highbury College are truly remarkable. The prominent portico stands tall and proud, welcoming students and visitors alike into its hallowed halls of education. As we gaze at this image, we can only imagine the bustling activity that once took place within these walls. Although destroyed by fire in 1946, this engraving allows us to appreciate the splendor that once graced Islington's landscape. The print captures a moment frozen in time - men and women strolling outside the college grounds, perhaps engaged in deep discussions about religion or their studies. It is fascinating to see how education played such an important role even during those times. This image reminds us of the dedication and commitment shown by both teachers and students who walked through these doors seeking knowledge and enlightenment. As we admire this historical gem from our present vantage point, let it serve as a reminder of the rich heritage embedded within our educational institutions. Let it inspire future generations to continue pursuing knowledge with passion and determination just as those who came before them did at Highbury College all those years ago.
