EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Henry Taunt in 1903, captures the serene beauty of Queens College, Oxford's front quad during the Edwardian era. The image, titled CC51_00352, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the college's timeless elegance and the simple pleasures of the day. The photograph looks west along the south arcade of the front quad, with its intricately designed arches and columns, which were built gradually over the first half of the 18th century. The classical architecture of the quad is a testament to the rich history and academic tradition of this esteemed institution. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of bicycles parked haphazardly along the quad's edges. These bicycles, a common mode of transportation during the early 20th century, add a sense of energy and movement to the otherwise still image. The students and scholars of Queens College, dressed in their formal attire, can be imagined making their way to their next lecture or engagement, their bicycles providing a convenient and efficient means of travel. The image also serves as a reminder of a simpler time, when the pleasures of academia and the simple joy of riding a bicycle were intertwined. The bicycles, with their distinctive shapes and designs, add a charming touch to the photograph, making it a captivating snapshot of life at Queens College, Oxford during the Edwardian era.
