EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Henry Taunt in 1903, captures the serene beauty of Queens College, Oxford's front quad during the Edwardian era. The image, titled CC51_00352, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the college's timeless elegance and the simple pleasures of the day.

The classical architecture of the quad is a testament to the rich history and academic tradition of this esteemed institution. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of bicycles parked haphazardly along the quad's edges.
