EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Pythagoras School, a remarkable building that has stood the test of centuries. Created by Sparrow, this image showcases the oldest secular structure in Cambridge, dating all the way back to 1200. The School of Pythagoras is not only an architectural marvel but also holds great historical significance as it served as a center for education during medieval times. This engraving from Francis Grose's book "The Antiquities of England and Wales" transports us to a bygone era when agriculture and education were intertwined. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into the past where we witness a gardener diligently tending to the beautiful gardens surrounding the school. The landscape exudes tranquility while showcasing nature's harmony with man-made structures. Samuel Hooper's contribution in capturing this moment through his lens adds depth and detail to Sparrow's work. Together they have immortalized this iconic landmark for generations to come. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how education has always been valued throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, there are timeless treasures like the Pythagoras School that continue to inspire awe and admiration.
