EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the year 1771, showcasing "The Ancient North Entrance into Oxford" that was unfortunately taken down. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this renowned university city. The intricate details of the engraving transport us to a time long gone, where we can imagine students and scholars passing through this majestic entrance on their way to pursue knowledge and enlightenment. The grandeur of the architecture is evident, with its towering columns and ornate decorations symbolizing the importance placed on education during that era. This print holds significant historical value as it was originally created for Joseph Foster's book "Oxford Men and their Colleges" published in 1893. It serves as a visual representation of Oxford's past, capturing a moment frozen in time before progress demanded change. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve our heritage and honor those who came before us. The ancient north entrance may no longer stand physically, but through engravings like these, its legacy lives on. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a treasure trove from Fine Art Finder - an opportunity to delve into history and appreciate the beauty found within these forgotten moments.
