EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken in May 1887, offers a glimpse into the bustling interior of Mrs. A.B. Marshall's School of Cookery located on Mortimer Street in Regent Street, London. The image showcases an entire dinner lesson in progress, with a crowded classroom filled with eager students, all intently focused on their practical cookery tasks. Mrs. Marshall, a pioneering figure in Victorian culinary education, is seen in the foreground, skillfully guiding her students through the intricacies of dinner preparation. The room is a symphony of activity, with students chopping, stirring, and rolling dough, while others tend to simmering pots and pans. The air is thick with the tantalizing aromas of roasting meats, simmering stews, and freshly baked bread. The students, all women, are dressed in their best aprons and appear fully engaged in the lesson, their faces reflecting a mixture of concentration and excitement. The classroom itself is well-equipped with modern appliances, including a large range, wooden workbenches, and an ample supply of fresh ingredients. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the world of Victorian cookery education, a time when the art of cooking was considered an essential skill for women to master in order to run a successful household. Mrs. Marshall's School of Cookery was one of the most renowned institutions of its kind, and this image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of its students and their dedicated teacher.
