EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1920, capturing the grandeur of Bishop King's Palace in St Aldates, Oxford. The image showcases the west side of the street, offering a glimpse into its rich history and architectural beauty. Built between 1622-8 by Thomas Smith, this main range is believed to have incorporated an even older structure. However, it is the west range that steals the spotlight with its striking five gables - a testament to its 16th/17th-century origins. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of Oxfordshire's skyline, this palace exudes an air of elegance and regality. Renowned photographer Henry Taunt skillfully captures every intricate detail in this photograph. From the ornate windows to the carefully crafted stonework, each element tells a story of centuries past.
