EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pepys Library, housed within the historic Magdalene College in Cambridge, is captured in this photograph from 1928. The image, featured in the renowned publication 'Old Furniture', offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of British literature and education. The grandeur of the library's interior is beautifully showcased through its meticulously crafted bookcases and antique furniture that date back to the 17th century. This monochrome print transports us back to a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for both scholars and admirers of history. Lieut. -Col. E. F. Strange, editor of 'Old Furniture', skillfully captures the essence of this remarkable space with his keen eye for detail. The perspective chosen allows viewers to appreciate not only the vast collection of literary treasures but also highlights the architectural beauty found within Magdalene College itself. As we explore this corridor lined with books, we can almost imagine Samuel Pepys himself wandering amongst these shelves centuries ago. His legacy as an influential diarist and bibliophile lives on through this extraordinary library named after him. This photograph serves as a testament to Britain's enduring dedication to education and preservation of cultural heritage. It invites us to delve into literature's past while reminding us that knowledge transcends time.
