EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of King's College at the University of Aberdeen during the Victorian period. The image, taken in the early Edwardian era, showcases the grandeur and elegance of the historic institution as it once was. King's College, founded in 1495, is the older of the two colleges that merged to form the University of Aberdeen. The college's rich history is reflected in its stunning architecture, which is on full display in this vintage photograph. The imposing sandstone buildings, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details, stand proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The photograph captures the college's main quad, where students once gathered to study and socialize. In the foreground, a lantern slide projector casts an ethereal glow over the scene, adding a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The lantern slide, a popular form of visual entertainment during the Victorian era, would have been used to project images onto a screen for educational or entertainment purposes. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the college during this time. Students can be seen walking along the cobblestone paths, while others sit on the steps of the buildings, deep in thought. The image transports us back to a time when academia was a more intimate and personal experience. This photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection offers a unique and fascinating insight into the history of education and the Victorian era. Whether you're an educator, historian, or simply someone with an appreciation for the past, this photograph is sure to captivate and inspire.
