EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the towering Merton Tower of Merton College stands proudly against the Oxford skyline, with the picturesque buildings of Corpus Christi College nestled in the foreground. The scene transports us back in time to the 1920s, an era of great change and progress in Oxford and beyond. Merton College, one of the oldest colleges in the University of Oxford, was founded in 1264 by Walter de Merton, Bishop of Rochester. Its distinctive tower, completed in the late 15th century, has long been a landmark of the city. The college's Gothic architecture, with its intricate stonework and elegant arches, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of Oxford's academic heritage. Corpus Christi College, founded in 1517 by Cardinal Wolsey, is equally impressive. The college's buildings, which include the beautiful 16th-century Maison Dieu, are a harmonious blend of various architectural styles, reflecting the college's long and storied history. The photograph captures the essence of Oxford's academic past, with its ancient colleges and towering spires. The street scene, with its horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, adds a sense of bustling activity and vibrancy to the image. The photograph is a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the Oxford of yesteryears, a time of intellectual pursuit, tradition, and beauty. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring allure of Oxford, a place where history and modernity coexist, where the past and the present come together to create a unique and captivating experience. The image invites us to explore the rich tapestry of Oxford's history and to appreciate the beauty and significance of its architectural heritage.
