EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Advertisement in Aldens Oxford Guide, 1888" takes us back to the vibrant city of Oxford in the late 19th century. The image showcases a bustling street scene with an imposing building at its center, adorned with an eye-catching advertisement. The grandeur of this architectural gem is enhanced by the intricate details captured by the skilled English School artist. As we delve into the scene, our eyes are drawn to a group of university students clad in elegant suits, suggesting their affiliation with one of Oxford's prestigious colleges. Prominently displayed on the building is an advertisement for Randolph Hotel, boasting "charges moderate". This glimpse into history reveals how advertising played a role even then in enticing visitors to experience luxurious accommodations during their stay in Oxford. Amidst this lively setting, we notice a gentleman indulging in his pipe smoking habit. This detail adds depth and character to the composition while providing insight into societal norms and habits prevalent during that era. With its rich historical context and meticulous craftsmanship, this engraving offers us a window into both educational institutions like universities and commercial enterprises like hotels that shaped life in Great Britain during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time and evoke curiosity about our past.
