This engraving takes us back in time to the prestigious New College, Oxford. The focus of the image is an exquisite Ancient Salt Cellar, a symbol of wealth and refinement during its era. Crafted with intricate details, this piece showcases the remarkable skill of the English School in the 19th century. The salt cellar's historical significance is further enhanced by its inclusion in Joseph Foster's renowned publication, "Oxford Men and their Colleges". This print served as an illustration for Foster's book, offering readers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions that have shaped Oxford University over centuries. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported to a world where knowledge and academia reign supreme. The presence of Walter Hill adds another layer of authenticity to this artwork – his meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life. In this scene from 1493, we witness students engrossed in their studies while surrounded by grand architecture that has stood the test of time. The warden oversees proceedings with authority and wisdom befitting such an esteemed institution. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also the essence of New College's legacy. This print serves as a reminder that education transcends generations; it connects us with those who came before us while inspiring future scholars on their own academic journeys.
