EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print showcases Owens College, Manchester, a historic institution that holds great significance in the educational landscape of England. Founded in 1846 by John Owens, a prominent textile merchant from Manchester, the college was established with the aim of providing quality education to aspiring students. In 1880, it received a prestigious Royal Charter and became England's first civic university - The Victoria University of Manchester. The image captures an exquisite view of the college's exterior, showcasing its remarkable architecture and neo-gothic style. The Victorian-era building stands tall amidst a bustling street scene, exuding grandeur and elegance. Its gothic revival design is truly awe-inspiring and serves as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Manchester. This postcard-worthy photograph not only celebrates the physical beauty of Owens College but also pays homage to its historical significance as Englands' pioneering civic university. It symbolizes progress, knowledge dissemination, and academic excellence. As we admire this visually stunning image captured by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, we are reminded of how institutions like Owens College have shaped our society through their commitment to education and intellectual growth. This artwork invites us to appreciate both the aesthetic charm and cultural importance embodied within this iconic landmark in Manchester's cityscape.
