EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Robert Woodlark, a prominent academic and founder of St. Catharines College in Cambridge. The image, captured by Edward Harding in 1801, exudes an air of wisdom and authority as Woodlark gazes confidently into the distance. Woodlark's significant contributions to education are evident through his role as Provost of Kings College and his establishment of St. Catharines College. His dedication to sacred theology is highlighted by the inset text that accompanies the portrait, emphasizing his expertise in this field. The photograph transports us back to 19th-century England, where academia thrived within majestic college courtyards like Catherine Hall. The building exterior featured in the background adds a touch of architectural grandeur to the composition. As we delve deeper into history, we discover that Woodlark's vision for founding a new college began as early as 1459 during the fifteenth century – an impressive testament to his foresight and commitment to higher education. This remarkable engraving has been preserved over time by The Print Collector29, allowing us a glimpse into both Woodlark's legacy and the artistic mastery of Sylvester Harding. It serves as a reminder not only of one man's profound impact on education but also of England's rich intellectual heritage embodied within its prestigious institutions like Cambridge University.
