EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Christ Church College, Oxford, as depicted in the renowned Oxonia Illustrated publication from 1675. The engraving by David Loggan beautifully captures the grandeur of this historic institution, which has stood proudly since its establishment in 1546. Nestled within a picturesque campus, Christ Church College is home to a stunning twelfth-century cathedral and boasts an illustrious history. Originally founded as Cardinal College by Thomas Wolsey in 1525, it later became King Henry VIII's College in 1532 before being officially established as Christ Church. The image reveals the impressive Great Quadrangle designed by Henry Redman or Redmayne around 1528. Its Tudor architecture exudes timeless elegance and serves as a testament to the college's rich heritage. From this aerial perspective, one can appreciate the intricate details of Tom Quad and marvel at its beauty from a bird's eye view. Transporting us back to the sixteenth century, this engraving offers a glimpse into Oxford University's past glory. It encapsulates not only architectural excellence but also academic prestige that has endured for centuries. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this print allows us to admire and cherish an important piece of English history captured through artistry. With its remarkable composition and historical significance, this image stands as a testament to both artistic brilliance and educational legacy.
