EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Chapel Quad, Lincoln College in Oxford during the late Victorian era, circa 1890. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the hallowed halls of one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world. The quadrangle, or quad, is a central feature of the College, showcasing its unique architectural charm. The chapel, with its impressive Gothic Revival architecture, dominates the scene, its pointed arches and intricate stonework a testament to the craftsmanship of the past. The ivy-covered walls add a touch of natural elegance, while the leaded windows, with their delicate tracery, bathe the quad in soft, dappled light. The dormer windows, adorned with ornate wooden balconies, offer a glimpse into the dormitories where generations of scholars have studied and lived. The doorways, with their arched doorways and intricate carvings, invite us to imagine the countless students who have passed through them over the centuries. The chimneys, rising majestically from the rooftops, are a reminder of the warmth and comfort that once filled these historic buildings. The photograph also reveals the College's commitment to innovation, with the power lines and telegraph poles hinting at the arrival of modern communication technology. This photograph is a treasure from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a rare glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of Oxford University and its rich history of academic excellence.
