EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alfieri, we are transported back to the historic moment when "The King has laid the foundation stone of the new School of Economics, Clarke Market". The image captures two young Indian students standing proudly in front of the newly established institution on 29 May 1920. The photograph not only showcases their enthusiasm but also symbolizes a significant milestone for education and progress. As women in a time where equal rights were still being fought for, these girls embody resilience and determination as they embark on their academic journey at a prestigious school like LSE. Alfieri's monochrome composition adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing the importance of this event within Europeana photography. The contrast between light and shadow highlights both the architectural grandeur of Clarke Market and the hopeful faces of these pioneering students. This image serves as a reminder that education knows no boundaries or limitations. It represents an era when individuals from different backgrounds came together under one roof to pursue knowledge, breaking down barriers imposed by societal norms or empire rule. As we reflect upon this powerful snapshot from history, let us celebrate these brave young women who paved the way for future generations seeking equality in academia. Their story continues to inspire us today as we strive towards creating inclusive educational opportunities for all.
