EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1787 showcases the back view of Salvadore House Academy in Tooting, Wandsworth, London. The scene beautifully captures parents or guardians engaging with the boys of the academy in a myriad of activities. In this vibrant image, one can spot children flying kites against the backdrop of an elegant British building. The foreground is enlivened by playful dogs frolicking around as if they were partaking in their own joyous game. This snapshot encapsulates the essence of childhood and education during the 18th century in England. The aquatint technique employed to create this piece adds depth and color to every element within it. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to both people and animals alike, making them appear almost tangible. Located at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical gem was captured by James Walker and Francis Jukes. Their collaboration has resulted in a masterpiece that not only portrays a school but also represents a country's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we are transported back to an era where outdoor pastimes like kite flying were cherished moments for children. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, education went beyond textbooks; it encompassed playtime too.
