EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print, dated 1735, depicts University College in the heart of Oxford, England, as it appeared over three centuries ago. Established in 1249, University College is the oldest of the colleges in the University of Oxford. The college's rich history is reflected in the architectural beauty of its buildings, which are prominently featured in this print. At the center of the image, we see the impressive façade of the Old Quad, with its grand arches and intricate stonework. To the left, we can make out the Chapel, a magnificent Gothic structure that has been the spiritual heart of the college since the Middle Ages. The Chapel's tall, pointed spire can be seen rising above the rooftops of the college. Surrounding the college buildings are the founders of University College, depicted in formal attire and gathered in a group. Among them are King Henry III and Queen Eleanor, who are believed to have founded the college in 1249. Other notable figures include the Chancellor of Oxford University, the Master of the College, and various scholars and benefactors. The print also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the college at the time. We can see students in academic gowns walking along the paths, while others are engaged in quiet study in the college gardens. The print also shows the college's coat of arms, which features a lion and a unicorn, symbolizing the strength and purity of learning. This print is a fascinating window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the history and traditions of University College, Oxford, and the educational institutions of Britain during the 18th century.
