Old-time Tuition at Dulwich College

DPG6O7 illustrates one of the recollections of John Callcott Horsley (1817-1903), the painter's father who, writing in his late eighties, remembered being invited as a boy of about eleven to stay with one of the fellows of Dulwich College, Mr Lindsay: 'He was not an early riser so he arranged that his class should come up to his bedroom for their lessons at eight o'clock every morning' (J.C. Horsley, Recollections of a Royal Academician, London, 1903, pp.294-5). John Lindsay a contemporary at Dulwich of Ozias Thurston Linley (see Oliver DPG476), was Usher of Dulwich College 1814-34.
