EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the skilled hand of English engraver Robert Loggan in 1675, offers a breathtaking bird's-eye view of Balliol College, one of the oldest and most esteemed institutions of the University of Oxford in England. The image invites us to take a journey back in time, as we gaze upon the intricately detailed depiction of the college's architectural wonders. At the heart of the composition lies the Chapel, a grand edifice of Gothic architecture, its pointed arches and intricate stonework a testament to the enduring history of the college. To the left, the Dining Hall, a spacious and elegant structure, is shown with its long tables set for a formal meal, reflecting the traditions and customs of Oxford's academic community. Adjacent to the Dining Hall, the College Library, a treasure trove of knowledge, is depicted with its tall, lined shelves, filled with countless volumes, a reminder of the intellectual pursuits that have taken place within these walls for centuries. The formal gardens, with their meticulously planned avenues and trees, add a touch of serenity and beauty to the scene. The Deans Lodgings, a stately residence, complete the picture, providing a glimpse into the living quarters of the college's highest-ranking officials. This engraving, one of 39 such views of Oxford Colleges made by Loggan, offers a unique perspective on the history and architecture of this esteemed university, allowing us to appreciate the timeless charm and scholarly heritage of Balliol College.
