EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1845, offering a glimpse into the magnificent Radcliffe Camera of Oxford University. Designed by the renowned architect James Gibbs in a splendid neo-classical style, this iconic building stands as a testament to the grandeur of British architecture. The dome, an architectural marvel that dominates the skyline, is beautifully captured in this image. Surrounded by its scholarly atmosphere, we see men engrossed in their pursuit of knowledge within Radcliffe's Library. Clutching books and engaged in deep conversation, these individuals epitomize the essence of education and intellectual growth. The print itself exudes history and heritage; it was featured in "Old England: A Pictorial Museum". Volume II published by Charles Knight & Co. London in 1845.
