EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent entrance front of the Examination Schools in Oxford, a true architectural gem steeped in history. Designed by renowned architect Sir Thomas Jackson and completed in 1882, this grand structure stands as a testament to Victorian craftsmanship and attention to detail. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the ornate clock that adorns the facade. Its intricate ironwork showcases both elegance and functionality, serving as a constant reminder of time's passing within these hallowed halls. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear its steady tick-tock echoing through the corridors, marking moments of anticipation and achievement for generations of students who have passed through these doors. The photograph itself is a work of art by Jon Wyand, capturing not only the physical beauty but also evoking an air of nostalgia that transports us back to an era when education was held in high regard. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every element captured within the frame, enhancing our appreciation for each delicate feature. As we admire this print from Historic England, let us reflect on how architecture has shaped our educational institutions throughout time. This image serves as a poignant reminder that behind every great institution lies an enduring legacy built upon dedication and vision.
