Description

A set of three screen-printed textile panels on a heavy-weave linen or similar fabric, featuring topographical bird’s-eye views of Cambridge University colleges. The prints are reproductions of 17th and 18th-century copperplate engravings.

The first panel shows Christ’s College, featuring a central top banner reading COLLEGIUM CHRISTI and a right-hand cartouche with a Latin dedication beginning Illustrissimo Domino Domino GEORGIO BERKELEY Comiti de Berkeley.

The second panel presents a view of King’s College and Clare Hall, titled at the bottom A View of KING’S COLLEGE & part of Clare Hall in the UNIVERSITY of Cambridge. This panel includes a dedication to the Provost, Vice Provost, Fellows, and Scholars of King’s College and bears the printed name P. S. Lamborn in the lower right corner.

The third panel depicts St John’s College, with a banner inscribed COLLEGIUM SANCTI IOHANNIS EVANGELISTÆ.

The images are rendered in a brown-black ink that is absorbed into the textile weave, a characteristic technique for mid-to-late 20th-century decorative hangings. Each panel is mounted in a narrow, natural-finish wooden frame.
