EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, specifically to New College in Oxford, England. The image showcases a remarkable assembly of one hundred clerks, captured around 1453. It is an illustration from the renowned book "A Short History of the English People" by John Richard Green. The photograph transports us to a time when education was highly valued and pursued with great dedication. These men, dressed in traditional medieval attire, represent the intellectual elite of their era. They are engrossed in their studies within the walls of New College, which stands as a testament to knowledge and learning. The image not only captures the physical appearance of these scholars but also provides insight into their occupation and profession as clerks. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into life at Oxford University during this period—a prestigious institution that has stood for centuries as a symbol of academic excellence. As we observe this monochrome masterpiece, we cannot help but appreciate how far our educational systems have evolved since then. Yet it serves as a reminder that knowledge has always been cherished throughout history and continues to shape our world today.
