EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1835, offering a glimpse into the stunning interior of the Radcliffe Library in Oxford. The renowned British artist John Henry Le Keux skillfully captured this architectural masterpiece, showcasing its grandeur and elegance. Designed by James Gibbs in the neo-classical style, this building stands as a testament to timeless beauty. As our eyes wander through the image, we are drawn to the focal point of the reading room. Bathed in natural light pouring through large windows, it exudes an air of tranquility and scholarly pursuits. On the right side of the room stands a plaster cast of none other than Laocoon Group—a famous sculpture that adds an artistic touch to this intellectual sanctuary. The monochrome palette enhances every intricate detail within these walls—ornate columns reaching towards high ceilings adorned with delicate moldings. Every corner whispers stories from centuries past, reminding us of Oxford's rich educational heritage. Frederick Mackenzie's engraving technique brings depth and texture to Le Keux's composition, making it even more captivating for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike. This print transports us back in time when knowledge was sought after amidst such breathtaking surroundings.
