EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1923, capturing the timeless beauty of Tom Tower at Christchurch College in Oxford. Named after the bell it houses, this architectural masterpiece was designed by none other than Sir Christopher Wren himself in 1682. The image is part of a series called "Sunripe Cigarettes - A Series of 50 Public Schools and Colleges" published by R. & J. Hill Ltd. in London. Nestled amidst nature, with a majestic tree framing its view, this photograph showcases the grandeur and rich history that defines British education. The tower stands tall as a symbol of knowledge and academic excellence within the prestigious university campus. The vintage charm emanating from this century-old print transports us to an era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also associated with sophistication. It's interesting to note how Sunripe Cigarettes chose such iconic landmarks for their cigarette cards, blending culture and leisure into one collectible package. As we admire this monochrome composition, we can't help but appreciate the intricate details on display – from the gatehouse leading up to Tom Tower's imposing facade to its belfry piercing through the sky above. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into both architectural brilliance and historical significance that has stood strong for centuries. Thanks to The Print Collector29 collection by Heritage Images, we are able to relish these glimpses into our past while appreciating their artistic value today.
