EDITORS COMMENTS
St. John's College, Oxford, as depicted in an 1821 print from the collection of Mary Evans Prints Online. Founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas White, a wealthy merchant and alderman of London, St. John's College is one of the youngest of the 38 colleges that make up the ancient University of Oxford in England. The college's striking architecture, a blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, is showcased in this 19th-century print. The college's most iconic feature is the Bridge of Sighs, a covered bridge connecting the Halls and the Cloisters. The bridge, designed by Christopher Wren in 1674, is said to have inspired the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. The print captures the bridge in all its beauty, with its elegant arches and intricate stonework. The college's chapel, also featured in the print, is dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. The chapel's impressive stained-glass windows and ornate wooden ceiling are a testament to the college's rich history and tradition. St. John's College has a long and distinguished history, with many notable alumni including Sir Isaac Newton, who studied at the college as a fellow in the late 17th century, and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who graduated from the college in the late 20th century. This 1821 print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and beauty of St. John's College, Oxford, and the University of Oxford as a whole. The print's intricate details and stunning visuals transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the college's enduring legacy.
