About the Item

18th Century View of Cambridge Engraving 15 x 20 cm This detailed engraving captures an 18th century view of Cambridge from the West. Green expanses dominate the piece, featuring scholars pictured resting or wandering in the foreground. In the background, the Cambridge skyline is clearly visible, where the view over the Backs is unmistakeable. From King's College Chapel, to Trinity's world famous Wren Library, Great St Mary's Church and the medieval spire of Queen's College, many of the historical Cambridge landmarks still recognisable today are to be found in this intriguing composition.
