A camping trip by Uppingham School to Borth in South Wales in 1876, set to poetry by Thring, in near fine condition. A lovely item. (231*185 mm). A major event in Thring's career at Uppingham was 'the flight to Borth' in 1875/6 when the school was temporarily closed because of typhoid fever arising from the town's poor drainage. In this hour of crisis Thring showed great leadership and arranged for the school to stay largely in a hotel and a few other houses at Borth, on the Welsh coast, near Aberystwyth. He saw the year's exile as a rejuvenating process, restoring some of the school's original ideals. Moreover the school's return to Uppingham in 1876 caused him to be regarded as a returning hero by the townsfolk, with whom Thring did much to foster good relations. See ODNB.
