EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Magdalen College, Oxford takes us back to the early 19th century, capturing the essence of this historic institution. The image showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty that has made Magdalen College a renowned landmark in England. The photographer skillfully captures the college's impressive facade, with its intricate details and towering spires. The composition draws our attention to the college choir gathered on the steps, dressed in their traditional attire as they prepare to sing a Latin hymn. Their presence adds a sense of timelessness and cultural significance to this snapshot from history. It is fascinating to imagine what life was like at Magdalen College during this era. Perhaps it was May Day, an occasion when students celebrated with festivities and merriment. Or maybe it was just another day filled with scholarly pursuits within these hallowed halls. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, experiencing a glimpse into the past through the lens of an accomplished European photographer. This photograph serves as a testament to both the enduring legacy of Magdalen College and its contribution to education throughout centuries. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Outline of the World To-Day" edited by Sir Harry Johnston and Dr L Haden Guest around 1920. Its inclusion in such esteemed publication further solidifies its historical value for generations to come.
