EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of Fretherne House Preparatory School around the turn of the twentieth century. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1900, showcases a group of boys and their teachers gathered in the school's courtyard. Cuthbert Gasemann, who is seated in the second row, third from the left, proudly poses amongst his peers. The Edwardian-era boys, dressed in their formal school uniforms, display an air of innocence and excitement. Their neatly combed hair and polished shoes reflect the importance placed on appearance and discipline during this time. The teachers, all women, wear elegant dresses and straw boaters, adding a touch of femininity to the scene. Their stern expressions suggest the serious nature of their roles as educators. Fretherne House Preparatory School, with its grand facade and well-manicured grounds, stands proudly in the background. The school, which was known for its rigorous academic curriculum and strong emphasis on character development, was a respected institution during this period. The photograph serves as a testament to the dedication of the teachers and the eagerness of their students to learn. This photograph provides a fascinating insight into the world of a preparatory school during the early 1900s. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the boys and their teachers, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed. The image, with its rich historical context, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of education or the social history of the early 20th century.
