EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the magnificent west front of Kings College in Aberdeen. The image beautifully captures the grandeur and architectural splendor of this historic institution, as it appeared over a hundred years ago. The focal point of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly the crown tower of the chapel. Standing tall and proud, it exudes an air of regality with its castellated design and imperial crown perched atop. The clock face on one side adds a touch of functionality to this majestic structure. The intricate details of the church's facade are truly awe-inspiring. Flying buttresses gracefully support the walls, while crenellations along the top give it a fortified appearance. Every element seems meticulously crafted, reflecting both Scottish and 15th-century architectural influences. This lithograph engraving was originally featured in "A Short History of the English People" by J. R. Green, published in 1893. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when Kings College was an independent university founded in 1495. The construction of its chapel between 1498-1509 stands as a testament to its rich history and enduring legacy. As we admire this remarkable piece from Ken Welsh's private collection, we can't help but marvel at how time has shaped our surroundings yet preserved these architectural treasures for generations to come.
