EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 1890s in London, England. The photograph features a striking statue of Sydney Herbert, a man dressed in university robes, standing behind ornate railings. The statue, located in an unspecified part of the city, adds an air of academic excellence and historical significance to the scene. Sydney Herbert (1810-1885) was a prominent British statesman, serving as the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1852 to 1854. He was also known for his work in education, establishing the Endowed Schools Act in 1869 to provide funding for primary education in England and Wales. The man depicted in the statue may be a tribute to his influential role in education and government. The intricate railings surrounding the statue add an element of elegance and exclusivity to the image, while the soft focus and warm tones of the lantern slide give the photograph an antique and romantic feel. The detailed textures and rich colors captured in the image make it a captivating addition to any collection of historical photographs or travel memorabilia from the Victorian era. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, a fascinating archive of lantern slides that offer a glimpse into the past. A day trip to London during the 1890s would have been an adventure filled with history, culture, and wonder, and this image of Sydney Herbert's statue is a beautiful reminder of that era.
