EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to 1675, offers a historical bird's-eye view of New College in Oxford, England. The image, created by the skilled engraver Wenceslaus Hollar under the direction of Robert Loggan, showcases the college's architectural grandeur and the harmonious arrangement of its key structures. New College, founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, is one of the oldest and most prestigious colleges in the University of Oxford. This print, which is part of a series of 39 engravings of Oxford Colleges, captures the college's north side, revealing the Chapel, Dining Hall, Library, and the Dean's Lodgings. The Chapel, located at the heart of the college, is a magnificent example of late Gothic architecture, with its tall, pointed arches and intricate stonework. The Dining Hall, which was added in the 15th century, is a spacious, elegant structure with large, arched windows that fill the room with natural light. The Library, located in the north-east corner of the quad, is a testament to the college's rich history and scholarly pursuits. The Dean's Lodgings, situated to the north of the Chapel, are a more recent addition to the college, having been built in the 17th century. This print provides a unique perspective of these architectural gems, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and historical significance from an aerial view. This print is not only a valuable historical document but also a stunning work of art, showcasing the meticulous detail and skill of the engraver. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 17th century and inviting us to explore the rich history and architectural wonders of New College in Oxford.
