EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grand entrance of Westminster School in London. The image, taken in 1881 by an unknown creator, showcases the exterior view of this prestigious educational institution located in Little Deans Yard. A magnificent Classical gateway from 1734 serves as a portal to the Busby Library, accessible via an open stairway. One remarkable feature of this architectural gem is the stone blocks that bear carved names of past pupils, leaving a lasting mark on the school's history. Established at least as early as the fourteenth century, Westminster School has stood as a symbol of education and learning for centuries. The photograph is part of "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" authored by Edward Walford and published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. in 1881. This publication offers readers a glimpse into various aspects of London's rich heritage. The monochrome composition adds depth to the image while capturing every intricate detail with precision. It portrays a serene landscape surrounding Westminster School's entrance—a testament to its location within bustling city limits yet offering an oasis-like atmosphere. As we gaze upon this historic doorway adorned with classical elements such as pediments and ornate carvings, we are reminded not only of its architectural significance but also its role in shaping young minds throughout generations.
