EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'England. London. Vassar College,' is a stunning representation of London during the late 19th century, as depicted by the skilled hand of R. Jones for La Ilustracion Inglesa in 1888. The vibrant and colorful print showcases the urban landscape of London, with its iconic Thames River winding through the heart of the city. In the foreground, a boat embarks on the river, adding a sense of movement and life to the otherwise still scene. The urbanism of London is on full display, with intricately detailed buildings lining the riverbanks and the imposing figure of the Tower of London standing proudly in the distance. Of particular interest in this print is the presence of Vassar College, a women's college founded in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1861. The college's inclusion in this London scene is a testament to the global reach and influence of education during this era. The college's crest is proudly displayed on the banner of the boat, adding a sense of academic pride to the image. The engraving process, a popular method of reproducing images during the 19th century, allowed for intricate detail and precision, resulting in a beautifully rendered representation of London during a time of great change and progress. This print offers a glimpse into the history and cultural significance of both London and Vassar College, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection.
