Explore Eton College through prints spanning the late eighteenth to early twentieth centuries, depicting its architecture, traditions, masters and sporting life. Highlights include rare, large hand-coloured scenes of the Eton Montem—the spectacular procession from the College to Salt Hill, celebrated for centuries before its abolition in 1844—and fine colour aquatints published by Rudolph Ackermann in 1816 after Augustus Pugin, William Westall, Frederick Mackenzie and Thomas Uwins. Subjects range from chapel, cloisters, library, hall, quadrangle and Thames views to rowing, the Field Game, the Fourth of June and Eton–Harrow cricket at Lord’s. Vanity Fair “Spy” caricatures portray provosts, masters and notable Old Etonians, while Illustrated London News engravings record ceremonies, royal visits and school life. Sold examples remain visible so collectors can request back-in-stock notifications.
