EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the timeless beauty of Girton College, located near Cambridge in 1923. Established in 1869 as the first women's college at Cambridge University, Girton College played a significant role in breaking gender barriers within higher education. The photograph showcases the stunning architecture of this historic institution, with its prominent tower and grand facade standing proudly against the backdrop of lush grounds. The image is part of a series called "Sunripe Cigarettes - A Series of 50 Public Schools and Colleges" published by R. & J. Hill Ltd. , London in 1923. It offers a glimpse into British educational institutions during the early twentieth century.
