Chapels, libraries and schoolrooms share the stage with scholars in distinctive dress in Rudolph Ackermann's 1816 colour aquatints of England's public schools. The History of the Colleges and Schools covers Winchester, Eton, Westminster, Charterhouse, St Paul's, Merchant Taylors', Harrow, Rugby and Christ's Hospital, introducing each with river prospects and quadrangles before going inside to examination rooms, halls and places of worship. Eton's library and chapel, Winchester's cloisters and the Great Hall at Charterhouse are among the subjects, some after Frederick Mackenzie. Several of the sites were later rebuilt or left behind as the schools moved.
