EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The founding of Cambridge University AD1109" takes us back to the 1920s. Created by Ernest Prater, a British artist who flourished between 1885 and 1937, this print is part of a private collection. The image depicts an important moment in history - the establishment of Cambridge University in the year 1109. The scene is filled with figures dressed in medieval attire, engaged in various activities that symbolize the birth of this prestigious institution. Scholars can be seen deep in discussion while others are busy constructing buildings or poring over ancient texts. Prater's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. From the intricate architectural elements to the expressions on each character's face, every aspect has been carefully rendered. The use of lithography adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its overall visual impact. Originally published as an illustration for Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation by Hutchinson Publishing Company, this artwork holds immense historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Cambridge University's rich heritage and its enduring legacy as one of England's most esteemed educational institutions. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back centuries ago when knowledge was being cultivated at Cambridge University for generations to come.
