EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving by William Burgis takes us back in time to the early days of Harvard University. Created in 1740, but depicting the university as it appeared around 1725-26, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of one of America's most prestigious institutions. The scene showcases the grandeur of Harvard's North Building, standing proudly amidst lush greenery adorned with ivy vines. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every intricate feature of the building's facade. A horse-drawn carriage can be seen passing by, transporting individuals who are perhaps eager to immerse themselves in knowledge within these hallowed halls. Burgis' skillful craftsmanship transports us to colonial Massachusetts, where Harvard played a pivotal role in shaping young minds and fostering intellectual growth. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy and tradition that continues at Harvard today. As we admire this historical artwork from The Granger Collection, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe for those who have walked these grounds before us. It reminds us that education has always been valued throughout history and serves as an inspiration for future generations striving for excellence. Whether you are an alumni or simply appreciate academia's significance, this print is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for both artistry and learning alike.
