EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of The Bridge of Sighs, located at Hertford College in Oxford University during the early 20th century. The bridge, an iconic symbol of Oxford's rich history, stands gracefully over a serene waterway, exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. The monochrome tones lend a sense of nostalgia to this image, transporting us back to a bygone era when communication was simpler yet more profound. In the background, we catch a glimpse of postcard-worthy architecture that epitomizes the grandeur and prestige associated with Oxford University. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the physical structure but also its symbolic significance. The Bridge of Sighs has long been known as a place where students would cross before taking their exams or embarking on their academic journeys. It is said that these sighs were expressions of nervous anticipation or relief after completing rigorous studies. In this image captured by an unknown creator from Heritage Images collection, we are transported to a time when education held great importance and communication relied heavily on handwritten letters sent through postal services. This print serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy and cultural heritage preserved within Oxford's walls.
