EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1905, offering a glimpse into the intimate setting of a tutor's room at Girton College, Cambridge. Founded in 1869, this prestigious institution holds the distinction of being the first college for undergraduate women. As we explore this image captured by Reinhold Thiele, we are immediately drawn to its timeless charm. The composition portrays an elegant landscape format that perfectly encapsulates the essence of England during that era. The room itself exudes a sense of warmth and intellectual curiosity with its grand fireplace serving as both a focal point and source of comfort. It is easy to imagine lively discussions taking place around it, as young female scholars engage in deep conversations about literature, philosophy, or perhaps even their own groundbreaking research. Thiele's masterful use of photography enhances the nostalgic atmosphere within this image. The absence of color allows us to focus on intricate details such as vintage furniture pieces adorned with delicate patterns and ornate decorations adorning the walls. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to progress and empowerment. It reminds us how far society has come since Girton College's founding days when opportunities for higher education were limited for women. Today, we can celebrate their legacy while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving true equality in academia and beyond.
