EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Finsbury Polytechnic, Appold Street, St Lukes" takes us back in time to the grand opening of this esteemed institution. The print showcases the impressive architecture of the building, with its intricate details and imposing presence on Appold Street in London. Lord Wolseley himself inaugurated this momentous occasion, as depicted in the illustration for The Graphic on December 17th, 1887. The image transports us to a bustling scene filled with boys eagerly engaging in various activities within the polytechnic's premises. From dumbbell drills to swimming pools and even vaulting horses and horizontal bars, it is evident that physical exercise played a significant role at Finsbury Polytechnic. Professor Freeman Wills can be seen guiding young students through their routines while Secretary Mr P. N. Hasluck oversees proceedings. This historical artwork not only captures a specific moment but also offers insight into education during that era. It reminds us of the importance placed on practical skills alongside academic pursuits. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to an era when institutions like Finsbury Polytechnic were at the forefront of educational innovation and development.
