EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Pepys Library, located in Magdalene College, Cambridge during the late 19th to early 20th century. The image showcases the impressive Pepys Building, constructed between 1670 and 1703. This architectural masterpiece stands tall as a testament to history and knowledge. The library's first floor is home to an extraordinary collection amassed by Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), an English naval administrator. His personal library was bequeathed to Magdalene College, making it a treasure trove of literary wonders. Among its prized possessions are his renowned diaries that provide invaluable insights into life during the seventeenth century. But this collection extends beyond just diaries; it encompasses naval records, medieval manuscripts, printed ballads, Sir Francis Drake's personal almanac, and even Pepys' own copy of Isaac Newton's groundbreaking work "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica". These artifacts offer a glimpse into various aspects of society at that time. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Unknown John Palmer Clarke from Heritage Images, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by the rich history contained within these walls. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. With its timeless beauty and profound significance in academia and literature alike, The Pepys Library continues to stand as a symbol of intellectual pursuit at one of England's most prestigious universities - Cambridge University.
