A Summer Evening at Keble College, Oxford, 1949: A Historical Snapshot of an Oxford University College Event This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the magical ambiance of a summer ball held at Keble College, Oxford, in 1949. The College, bathed in the soft glow of floodlights, stands proudly against the night sky, creating an imposing and spectacular background. The historic architecture of this esteemed institution is accentuated by the play of light and shadow, as the sun sets and the twilight deepens. The College, one of the constituent colleges of the prestigious University of Oxford, has a rich history dating back to its foundation in 1870. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and academic life of Oxford University during the 1940s. The elegantly dressed attendees, the grandeur of the setting, and the sense of community and camaraderie are all palpable in this photograph. The summer ball was an annual event, a time for students and faculty to come together and celebrate the end of the academic year. The festivities provided a much-needed respite from the rigors of academic life, offering an opportunity for relaxation, socializing, and enjoyment. The floodlit College served as a reminder of the beauty and history of Oxford University, while also symbolizing the vibrant and enduring spirit of the institution.
