The anniversary was worth celebrating because, as in so many areas, Ï㽶ֱ²¥ had rather led the way in recognising and providing for what is now a major and vital part of its community whose genesis is worth exploring.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Plan of the site between Longwall Street and the city wall that became the Sacher Building [detail]<br>Ï㽶ֱ²¥ Archives, Oxford, NCA BUR/BCF/205</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>New College Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2023-12/20NCN9%20%282023%29%20Stansfield%20on%20MCR.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=352831" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">20NCN9 (2023) Stansfield on MCR.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">344.56 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Fri, 29 Dec 2023 01:27:28 +0000 Christopher 2927 at /collecting <div class="top-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_navigation/public/2023-12/John%20Fowles%2C%20The%20Collector%20%281963%29%2C%20dustjacket%2C%20New%20College%20Library%2C%20Oxford%2C%20NC-FOW.jpg.webp?itok=U12njtZw" width="655" height="435" alt="John Fowles, The Collector (1963), dustjacket, New College Library, Oxford, NC/FOW" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="field field--name-node-title field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item"><h2> Collecting </h2> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item">Christopher Skelton-Foord</div> <div class="field field--name-field-issue field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Issue number</div> <div class="field--item">(2023): 20</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-notes-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Notes category</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/529" hreflang="en">John Fowles</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/277" hreflang="en">Exhibitions</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/530" hreflang="en">The Collector, 1963</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/531" hreflang="en">Book collecting</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/104" hreflang="en">20thC history</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/80" hreflang="en">Library Antiquarian</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/532" hreflang="en">BT3.275.1</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="middle-wrapper"> <div class="inner-middle-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-8"> <div class="field field--name-field-summary field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><h3>Recently I acquired for New College Library’s collections a first edition copy of <em>The Collector</em>, the debut novel by Ï㽶ֱ²¥ alumnus John Fowles (1926–2005), which sixty years ago in 1963 launched his spectacular career as a writer. First published in May 1963 by Jonathan Cape of London, the copy I acquired bears the iconic original dustjacket with a <em>trompe-l’œil</em> design by Tom Adams (1926–2019), who also created the artwork for paperback editions of Agatha Christie’s novels. Moreover, this particular copy was signed by Fowles.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>John Fowles, <em>The Collector</em> (London: Jonathan Cape, 1963), dustjacket<br>New College Library, Oxford, NC/FOW</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>New College Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2023-12/20NCN8%20%282023%29%20Skelton-Foord%20on%20Collecting%20%28Fowles%29.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=970716" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">20NCN8 (2023) Skelton-Foord on Collecting (Fowles).pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">947.96 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:59:16 +0000 Christopher 2926 at /node/2047 <div class="top-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_navigation/public/2020-07/The%20crozier%20of%20William%20of%20Wykeham%2C%20the%20College%E2%80%99s%20founder.jpg.webp?itok=ySlQ_tja" width="655" height="435" alt="The crozier of William of Wykeham, the College’s founder" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="field field--name-node-title field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item"><h2> Lending to the Manchester Art Exhibition in 1857 </h2> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item">Michael Burden</div> <div class="field field--name-field-issue field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Issue number</div> <div class="field--item">(2020): 13</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-notes-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Notes category</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/276" hreflang="en">Manchester Art Exhibition, 1857</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/277" hreflang="en">Exhibitions</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/128" hreflang="en">William of Wykeham</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/278" hreflang="en">Warden Walter Hyll</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="middle-wrapper"> <div class="inner-middle-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-8"> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2020-10/13NCN6%20%282020%29%20Burden%20on%20the%20Manchester%20Art%20Exhibition.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=704772" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">13NCN6 (2020) Burden on the Manchester Art Exhibition.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">688.25 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Fri, 31 Jul 2020 13:18:26 +0000 Christopher 2047 at
