EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the picturesque Queens College, Oxford, as it appeared in the early 19th century. Established in 1341, Queens College is one of the oldest and most esteemed institutions within the historic University of Oxford in England. Nestled along the High Street, the college is a stunning blend of architectural styles, showcasing a mix of medieval, Tudor, and Georgian structures. The photograph, taken in 1821, captures the essence of the college's grandeur and tranquility. The High Street, lined with trees and quaint buildings, leads the eye towards the imposing entrance of Queens College. The college's coat of arms, featuring three pelicans and the motto 'Sic itur ad astra' (Thus one reaches the stars), proudly adorns the entrance. The college's gardens, dotted with trees and vibrant flowers, add to the serene atmosphere. Students, dressed in academic robes, can be seen strolling along the paths, deep in thought or engaged in animated discussions. The River Isis, which flows nearby, adds to the idyllic setting, reflecting the college's rich history and tradition. Queens College has produced numerous influential figures throughout history, including Sir Thomas More, Lord Campbell, and Sir Christopher Wren. The college's commitment to academic excellence and its beautiful surroundings continue to attract students and visitors from around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy of Queens College, Oxford.
