EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the 1910s, showcases the impressive Coats of Arms of the Principal Colleges of the University of Cambridge. The image, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the historic halls of academia in Cambridgeshire, England. The Principal Colleges of Cambridge University, each with its unique identity, are represented by their respective coats of arms. The collection includes St. Peter's College, Sidney Sussex College, Queen's College, Clare College, Emmanuel College, Churchill College, Gonville and Caius College, Selwyn College, Magdalene College, Downing College, Trinity College, King's College, Hall, Jesus College, John's College, Pembroke College, Ridley Hall, Corpus Christi College, and Christ's College. Each college's coat of arms is a testament to its rich history and heritage. The designs often include symbols, emblems, and religious icons, reflecting the college's founding principles and patron saints. For instance, St. Peter's College features the keys of St. Peter, symbolizing the college's foundation by the monks of the Order of St. Augustine. Sidney Sussex College displays the arms of the founders, Sir Philip and Lady Frances Sidney, along with the motto 'Sid ne Sucides' (Do not give up hope). The photograph print not only serves as an attractive decorative piece but also offers a glimpse into the fascinating history of Cambridge University and its colleges. This collection is a must-have for anyone interested in heraldry, history, or the University of Cambridge.
