EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the skilled hand of English engraver and draftsman William Loggan in 1675, offers a breathtaking bird's-eye view of Corpus Christi College in Oxford, England. The meticulously detailed print showcases the historical beauty and architectural grandeur of this esteemed academic institution. At the heart of the composition lies the College's chapel, its impressive Gothic architecture and intricate stonework evident even from this lofty perspective. Adjacent to the chapel, the dining hall and library stand proudly, their symmetrical layout reflecting the order and discipline that have long been synonymous with Oxford University. The Deans' lodgings, with their elegant chimneys and ornate windows, can be seen to the left of the quad, while the formal gardens, meticulously tended and orderly, sprawl out beneath. The quadrangle, or quad, with its neatly arranged buildings and open courtyard, is a testament to the college's rich history and the scholarly pursuits that have taken place within its walls for centuries. Loggan's engraving is one of 39 such views of Oxford Colleges that he produced during this period, each a valuable historical record of the university's architectural heritage. This particular print, with its stunning aerial perspective, invites us to imagine the bustling activity that once filled the grounds of Corpus Christi College, as scholars, students, and dignitaries went about their daily lives within this hallowed academic community.
