EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1923, capturing the timeless beauty of Hertford College in Oxford. Originally established as Hart Hall in 1283 by Elias de Hertford, this prestigious institution received its full college status through a Royal Charter in 1740. However, it faced dissolution in 1805 only to be refounded again in 1874 thanks to an Act of Parliament. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of Hertford College against a backdrop of a serene road and picturesque British lane. The vintage charm is further enhanced by the presence of a gentleman enjoying his Sunripe cigarette, adding an element of nostalgia from that era. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported into the heart of Oxfordshire's academic excellence. The bridge leading towards the college serves as both a physical and metaphorical connection between knowledge-seeking students and their scholarly pursuits. This photograph is part of "A Series of 50 Public Schools and Colleges" released by R. & J. Hill Ltd. , London in 1923. It beautifully captures not just the external facade but also reflects the rich history embedded within these walls that have witnessed centuries' worth of intellectual growth. Let this remarkable print remind us all that education has been at the core of human progress for centuries, with institutions like Hertford College playing an integral role in shaping minds and fostering brilliance since its establishment over seven hundred years ago.
