OriginalGirton College, Cambridge University, c. 1890 or so (Probably a little earlier, but I don't remember why I came to that conclusion about the Detroit Photographic Company.
Reason
A fine historical image from not too long after the college's founding. It's a photochrom, so it's basically a colour lithograph based on a black and white photo, so it's not perfect, but it is well-done.
Articles in which this image appears
