EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint print from 1800 showcases the majestic Queens College in the University of Cambridge. The artist, Thomas Malton, skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of this esteemed institution. The scene is set on a serene day along the River Cam, with boats gracefully gliding across its calm waters. A charming bridge connects both sides of the river, serving as a picturesque backdrop to this idyllic setting. A barge and tugboat can be seen navigating through the river, adding an element of transport and movement to the composition. Queens College itself stands proudly amidst lush greenery, exuding an air of scholarly excellence. Its elegant facade is meticulously detailed in this engraving, showcasing intricate stonework and ornate windows that hint at centuries-old wisdom within its walls. This print offers a glimpse into academic life during a bygone era when punts were used for leisurely rides along the river while students pursued knowledge within these hallowed halls. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery. Preserved in private collection today, this artwork allows us to appreciate not only Queens College's architectural splendor but also its enduring legacy as one of Cambridge University's most prestigious institutions.
