EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the historic Cambridge University Press in England, circa 1860. The image showcases the Pitt Press building, which was a part of the larger Cambridge University Press. The Pitt Press was situated between two of the university's most esteemed colleges: Peterhouse, located to the left, and Pembroke, to the right. The Pitt Press holds a significant place in the annals of academic publishing. Established in 1632, it was one of the earliest printing presses associated with the university. The press played a pivotal role in the production and dissemination of scholarly works, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in various fields. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the architectural beauty of the Press building and the colleges that surrounded it. The intricate details of the buildings' facades, the lush greenery, and the horse-drawn carriages in the foreground all add to the historical atmosphere. Peterhouse, the older of the two colleges, can be seen on the left side of the image. Founded in 1284, Peterhouse is one of the earliest colleges in the University of Cambridge. Its rich history is reflected in its Gothic architecture, which stands in stark contrast to the more modern appearance of Pembroke College on the right. Established in 1414, Pembroke College is known for its impressive library and its association with notable scholars. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and academic legacy of Cambridge University and the role that the Pitt Press played in shaping it. The image invites us to explore the past and appreciate the enduring significance of these institutions in the world of academia.
