EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of King's College in Aberdeen, Scotland, circa 1898. The creator remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of this historic institution. King's College, founded in 1495 and now an integral part of the University of Aberdeen, underwent extensive renovation and rebuilding during the 18th and 19th centuries. This image showcases its stunning architecture with a focus on the building exterior. The facade stands tall and proud, displaying intricate details that reflect its rich history. Intriguingly, amidst this architectural marvel are background people going about their day. A man can be seen feeding birds while a woman engrosses herself in a book nearby. These individuals add life to the scene and give us a glimpse into daily activities within this academic setting. The courtyard provides a picturesque vista as it stretches towards a tower that punctuates the skyline. It is evident that Kings College holds great significance not only for education but also as a tourist attraction for those seeking to immerse themselves in Scottish history. As we admire this engraving from "Our Own Country". Volume III by Cassell & Company Ltd. , we are transported back to Victorian times when literature flourished alongside academia. William Wilkins' vision for Kings College has truly stood the test of time, making it an enduring symbol of Scottish heritage and intellectual pursuit.
