EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the timeless beauty of Magdalen College, Oxford in 1923. Founded in 1458 by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester and Lord Chancellor, this prestigious institution has stood as a symbol of academic excellence for centuries. The focal point of the college is its magnificent Great Tower, skillfully constructed by William Orchard in 1509. The image showcases the stunning architecture and historic charm that define Magdalen College. A stone bridge gracefully spans over a serene river, leading to the grand facade of the college building itself. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from the past. Interestingly, this photograph was part of a series called "Sunripe Cigarettes - A Series of 50 Public Schools and Colleges" produced by R. & J. Hill Ltd. , London in 1923. It served as both a collectible cigarette card and an homage to British education institutions. While smoking may have been popular during that era, it's important to note that we do not endorse or promote tobacco use today. Instead, let us appreciate this image for its historical significance and architectural splendor—a testament to the rich heritage embodied by Magdalen College since its establishment in the fifteenth century.
