EDITORS COMMENTS
Merton and Christ Church College, Oxford, England (ca. 1890-1900) This photograph print transports us back in time to the late 19th century, showcasing the picturesque and historic Merton and Christ Church College in Oxford, England. The image, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past with its rich, coloured hues and intricate details. Merton College, founded in 1264, is one of the oldest colleges in the University of Oxford. Its striking, Gothic architecture is evident in the tall, pointed arches and the intricate carvings adorning the stone walls. The college's chapel, with its impressive stained-glass windows, can be seen in the foreground, while the main building is nestled in the background. Christ Church College, also known as "The House of the Magdalen," was founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII. The college's impressive buildings, including Tom Quad and the magnificent Christ Church Cathedral, are renowned for their grandeur and historical significance. The college's green, dotted with trees, adds a touch of tranquility to the scene. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, was likely produced using the Photochrom process, which involved hand-colouring photographs to create vibrant, detailed images. This process allowed photographers to capture the essence of the past in a way that was both accurate and aesthetically pleasing. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and beauty of Oxford University and the enduring allure of its colleges. It invites us to imagine the lives of the students and scholars who once walked these hallowed halls and to appreciate the timeless charm of this historic institution.
