EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history within the walls of Down House, Kent. Stepping into the "Preparation Room" one is transported back to a time when this very space was converted for educational purposes. Originally used as Charles Darwin's New Study, it became an integral part of Downe House School for Girls in 1907.

The legacy left behind by Darwin himself resonates through every corner of Down House, inspiring generations to pursue intellectual curiosity and scientific exploration. Although different schools have come and gone since its inception as an educational institution, this photograph reminds us that even grand establishments like Down House can evolve over time. Today, it stands not only as a symbol of academic excellence but also as a cherished piece of British heritage.
