EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from Turl Street in the late 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past of Lincoln College in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Established in 1427, Lincoln College is one of the oldest constituent colleges of the prestigious University of Oxford. The image showcases the college's impressive architecture, with its crenellated walls and towering chimneys, standing proudly against the backdrop of a bustling Oxford street. The crenellation, a distinctive feature of medieval fortifications, adds a sense of history and grandeur to the college's appearance. The photograph also reveals the contrast between the ancient and the modern. The college, steeped in history, is juxtaposed with the pavement and road, which bear the marks of the horse-drawn carriages and the early stages of motorized transportation. The chimneys, belching out plumes of smoke, are a testament to the industrial revolution that was transforming the world. Lincoln College, with its red-brick buildings and ivy-covered walls, exudes an air of academic excellence and tradition. The college's commitment to higher education has remained unwavering since its inception, attracting scholars from around the world. This photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of Lincoln College and the University of Oxford. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of these institutions and their continued relevance in the modern world.
