EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a sunny July day in 1928, where we find ourselves standing in Cannon Yard at Eton College. The image showcases a remarkable piece of history - a cannon captured during the Crimean War in 1855 at Sevastopol. Proudly positioned outside the Geography Department, it stands as an enduring symbol of bravery and victory. The cannon's imposing presence commands attention as it gazes across the yard towards the School Library. Its weathered exterior tells tales of battles fought and won, reminding all who pass by of its storied past. As students stroll through this hallowed ground, they are greeted by this historic relic that serves as a constant reminder of their school's rich heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the warmth of summer radiating off the cobblestones beneath our feet. The lush greenery surrounding Cannon Yard adds to its picturesque charm, creating an idyllic setting for both learning and reflection. As we delve into this glimpse from nearly a century ago, let us appreciate not only the beauty captured within these frames but also acknowledge how historical artifacts like this cannon continue to shape our understanding and appreciation for those who came before us.
