EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of The Colledge of Glasgow, as captured by John Slezer in 1693. The image showcases the original buildings that once graced the High Street before their unfortunate demolition in the 1870s. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported to a bygone era where education was revered and architectural beauty reigned supreme. The intricate facade of the college stands tall, exuding an air of elegance and wisdom. Its towering church and chapel add a touch of spirituality to this scholarly haven. The birds-eye view allows us to appreciate not only the stunning architecture but also the bustling city surrounding it. We can almost imagine students strolling through its courtyard, engaged in lively discussions or seeking solace amidst its serene atmosphere. This historical gem serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich educational heritage, with University of Glasgow proudly founded way back in 1451. It is a testament to centuries-old traditions that have shaped countless minds within these hallowed halls. As we admire this remarkable piece from John Slezer's collection, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our roots steeped in knowledge and enlightenment. This photograph invites us into a world long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and craftsmanship – an everlasting tribute to education's enduring power.
