EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Old Houses in Castle Street" takes us on a nostalgic journey through time. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the charm and character of a bygone era. Nestled within the frame are rows of ancient houses lining Castle Street, their weathered facades telling stories of centuries past. The scene transports us to Oxford, a city renowned for its rich history and prestigious university. These old houses stand as silent witnesses to countless generations that have walked these streets before us. Each building exudes its own unique architectural style, with intricate details etched into their walls and windows. One can't help but imagine the lives that once thrived behind these aged doors - scholars engrossed in academic pursuits, families sharing laughter around crackling fireplaces, or perhaps even secret meetings held under moonlit skies. This evocative print was originally created as an illustration for Andrew Lang's book "Oxford" published in 1880. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring allure of this historic city and its timeless beauty. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also invites contemplation about our connection to the past and how it shapes our present-day experiences.
