EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, showcasing the iconic Bridge of St. Johns College in Cambridge University. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the beauty of architecture is undeniable. The bridge itself holds a rich history, as it was built by Robert Grumbold between 1709 and 1711 based on designs by the renowned Sir Christopher Wren. Crafted from a single block of limestone, this masterpiece appears like an intricately carved masonry structure. In this snapshot, we see a group of people standing on the bridge, adding life and scale to its grandeur. A rowing boat gracefully glides along River Cam beneath the bridge's arches, further enhancing the picturesque scene. This photograph comes from "Our Own Country". Volume II published in 1898 by Cassell and Company Ltd. , offering readers a glimpse into England's historical landmarks and natural wonders. It serves as both a testament to British heritage and an ode to architectural brilliance. As we admire this enchanting print today, we are transported back in time to witness not only the physical beauty of St. Johns College Bridge but also feel its significance within academic circles and Cambridge's cultural fabric. This image reminds us that even though creators may remain anonymous over time, their work continues to inspire generations with its timeless charm.
