EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Katherine J. Macfee on a sunny day in May 1928, we are transported back in time to the prestigious streets of Oxford, England. The image showcases a group of young male students proudly donning their iconic Oxford bags, standing confidently beside two sleek motorcars parked outside Hertford College. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and camaraderie as these scholarly gentlemen strike a pose for the camera. Their stylish attire perfectly reflects the fashion trends of the era, with their wide-legged trousers epitomizing the popular "Oxford bag" style that was all the rage among university students at that time. Catte Street serves as an elegant backdrop to this snapshot from history, lined with beautiful architectural gems that have stood tall for centuries. Hertford College itself adds grandeur to the composition, its imposing facade hinting at a rich academic heritage. Katherine J. Macfee's expert eye has immortalized this moment forever; her lens capturing not only physical details but also intangible elements like youthful energy and intellectual curiosity. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of how much times have changed while simultaneously celebrating timeless traditions and aspirations associated with one of England's most esteemed educational institutions - Oxford University
