EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving, created by the skilled hand of English engraver Robert Loggan in 1675, offers a unique bird's-eye view of All Souls College in Oxford, England. Established in 1438, All Souls is one of the most prestigious colleges in the historic University of Oxford. The image captures the architectural beauty and grandeur of the college, with its impressive structures arranged around a central quad. The focal point of the composition is the Chapel, its crenellated roof and tall spire reaching towards the heavens. Adjacent to the Chapel, the Dining Hall is depicted with its large, arched windows and intricate stonework. The College Library, a repository of knowledge and scholarship, is also shown, its tall, narrow windows reflecting the scholarly pursuits within. The Warden's Lodgings, a symbol of the college's administrative authority, are situated towards the right of the image. A carriage road runs along the edge of the quad, hinting at the bustling activity that would have taken place within the college walls. Loggan's engraving is one of 39 views he made of Oxford colleges, providing a valuable historical record of the architectural and academic heritage of this renowned university. The intricate detail and meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when scholars and thinkers gathered to seek knowledge and wisdom.
