EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite architectural etching captures the front face of Harvard House, a historic building located in the heart of Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. Dating back to 1596, Harvard House holds significant historical value as it was built by Thomas Rogers, the illustrious grandfather of John Harvard, the renowned benefactor of Harvard University in the United States. The intricate etching reveals the elegant Tudor-style design of the house, with its timber-framed facade adorned with intricate carvings. Thomas Rogers' initials, "TR," are prominently displayed on the building, alongside those of his second wife, Alice, represented by the letter "A." The initials serve as a testament to the family's rich history and connection to this remarkable structure. The etching, produced circa 1920, showcases the house's stunning detail, from the ornate chimneys to the delicate woodwork. The muted color palette of the print adds to its timeless appeal, transporting viewers back in time to the Elizabethan era. This etching was published in Volume 12 of the prestigious "March of the Women" collection, a series dedicated to showcasing the achievements and contributions of women throughout history. The etching itself is a testament to the enduring legacy of Thomas Rogers and his family, and a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between Stratford-Upon-Avon and the esteemed Harvard University.
