Artist unknown Architect showing plans of Trinity College and its chapel, behind larger elevation of Garden Quadrangle at Trinity College Early 18th century Hand coloured engraving 36.5 x 47.5 cm Rare - we have been unable to identify another copy of this print. The architect pictured has been suggested to be Henry Aldrich who designed the chapel at Trinity College, hence seen here with the plans thereof. They stand before the buildings of the Garden Quadrangle, built by Christopher Wren. Aldrich was Canon and Dean of Christ Church, Oxford. As well as a polymath and composer, he was a prolific architect working in the Palladian style, writing 'Elemena Architectuae Civilis' (1789) and designing Peckwater Quadrangle at Christ Church (1707-14).
