Antique Cambridge University – Trinity College Presentation Picture / Framed in Oak by James Rossiter
A fine and original Cambridge University presentation picture, depicting the distinguished Trinity College, Cambridge, beautifully framed in oak by noted framer James Rossiter.
James Rossiter of 23 Green Street and 8 Rose Crescent, worked at Camden Court Cambridge. Rossiter's name will turn up on some old photos because he was a print-seller, fine art dealer, gilder, picture cleaner and frame maker. c.1900.
This elegant piece dates from the early 20th century and showcases the classic architectural splendour of one of Cambridge’s most historic colleges. The oak frame — simple yet refined — perfectly complements the academic subject matter, giving it timeless appeal.
Likely originally presented as a formal gift or commemorative piece, it bears all the hallmarks of university craftsmanship and tradition, making it a wonderful addition to any collection of academic memorabilia or British heritage art.
