EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of history in a single frame. The image showcases the East Gate, now lost to time and memory, but forever immortalized through this intricate artwork. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every line and curve brings life to this architectural masterpiece. The artist's skillful hand has meticulously etched each brick and archway, allowing us to envision the grandeur that once stood at Oxford University. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It serves as a poignant reminder of how time changes landscapes and erases traces of our past. Yet, it also sparks curiosity about the stories that unfolded within those walls – the scholars who passed through its gates on their intellectual journeys. This engraving was originally created for Joseph Foster's book "Oxford Men and their Colleges" published in 1893. It serves not only as an illustration but also as a historical document preserving the memory of East Gate for generations to come. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this piece of history firsthand. This print invites us into Oxford's rich heritage while reminding us that even though buildings may crumble over time, their significance lives on through art like this enchanting engraving.
