EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the interior of Probus School in Cornwall. Founded in 1852 with a mission to educate the middle classes of this beautiful county, Probus School holds a significant place in Cornish history. The photograph showcases the school's science laboratory, where young minds were nurtured and scientific discoveries unfolded. The image reveals rows of sturdy work benches adorned with various science equipment, test tubes, and glassware. It is evident that this laboratory was a hub of experimentation and learning. Students would have eagerly gathered around these benches, engrossed in their chemistry lessons under the guidance of dedicated teachers. Photographed by Frederick Ernest Argall, an artist who skillfully captured moments frozen in time, this print serves as both an educational artifact and a testament to the importance placed on scientific education at Probus School. The attention to detail within this image allows us to imagine students diligently working on experiments while seated on stools beside their workstations. As we admire this snapshot from history, it reminds us of how far education has come since those early days. This photograph encapsulates not only the spirit of Cornish education but also highlights the significance that boarding schools like Probus held for aspiring scholars seeking knowledge beyond traditional classroom settings.
