EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Kings College in Cambridge. Standing tall and proud, the college's main court is showcased with its lush green lawn stretching out before it. The view eastwards reveals a stunning sight - an architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent screen and gatehouse, which perfectly harmonize with the iconic chapel. Built between 1824-8 to match its grandeur, these structures were designed by William Wilkins, a master architect known for his attention to detail. Photographed by Eric de Mare sometime between 1945 and 1980, this image exudes a sense of history and nostalgia. De Mare skillfully captured every intricate detail, from the ornate stonework to the delicate tracery on windows. Intriguingly placed within this composition is a solitary lamp post standing proudly beside Kings College. Its presence adds an element of contrast against the ancient backdrop while symbolizing continuity through time. This print serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and artistic vision. It allows us to appreciate not only Kings College but also Eric de Mare's talent in capturing moments frozen in time.
