Description: | Landscape, 19th century copy of one of the earliest views of King's College. Flattish view of King's from the South end of the High Street, the buildings (c1660-70). Man riding centre, leading two pack horses, boy in tammy following. Woman in red and two men cloaked and hatted on the right, with three red robed scholars on the left. Sky near white. This image is glazed and in a gilt frame.
"A nineteenth century copy of one of the earliest views of King's College. The form of the crown tower reflects its rebuilding in 1634 after storm damage. However the existence of the pyramidal roof under the crown dates the work to pre 1658. Repairs to the chapel in 1658 removed the pyramid and replaced it with a flat roof. The figures on the extreme left are probably students clad in the student 'uniform' of red gowns."
