EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "New College, Oxford, from Oxonia Illustrata" takes us back in time to the year 1675. The print showcases the stunning beauty of New College, one of Oxford University's oldest and most prestigious institutions. The image captures a picturesque view of the college's medieval architecture within its walled garden. A prominent Elizabethan mound adorns the far end of the scene, adding a touch of elegance and charm to this Tudor-era landscape. The meticulously detailed engraving allows us to appreciate every aspect of this historical setting. New College's gothic-style chapel stands proudly at the center, displaying intricate carvings and exquisite stained glass windows that reflect centuries-old craftsmanship. Surrounding it is a quadrangle or quad where scholars would gather for intellectual pursuits and lively discussions. Notably present in this artwork are cherubs scattered throughout, symbolizing divine inspiration and protection over these hallowed halls of learning. These cherubic figures add an ethereal quality to the composition while reminding viewers of New College's rich academic heritage. As we admire this print from our private collection today, let us be transported back in time to witness firsthand how New College has stood as a beacon of knowledge since its foundation in 1379. This engraving serves as a testament to both architectural grandeur and scholarly pursuit that have defined Oxford University for centuries.
