EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to Christ's Hospital School, a renowned educational institution in Horsham, West Sussex, England, founded in 1552. Established as a charitable trust by King Edward VI, the school has a rich history spanning over 460 years. The image, taken in the late 1880s, depicts a group of young boys in their distinctive blue and red uniforms, complete with white collars and yellow stockings, standing outside the grand entrance. The entrance is adorned with a magnificent Victorian-era statue of King Edward VI, who founded the school. The red-brick building, with its intricate architectural details, exudes an air of historical significance. The entrance is further enhanced by the presence of a niche, which houses a lamp, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. The boys, dressed in their formal school gowns, add to the sense of tradition and history. The image transports us back in time to the 1880s, a period of great change and progress in Britain. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Christ's Hospital School and its commitment to providing education to deserving children. The photograph, taken from the outside, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the daily routines, the camaraderie, and the learning that took place within the walls of this remarkable institution. The image is a beautiful reminder of the importance of education and the role that historical buildings play in shaping our collective memory.
