The College was founded by Henry VI of England and Henry Chichele (fellow of New College and Archbishop of Canterbury), in 1438. The Statutes provided for the Warden and forty fellows - all to take Holy Orders; twenty-four to study arts, philosophy and theology; and sixteen to study civil or canon law.
This original antique print was produced from copper plate engraving process. The print has deterioration with a hole in it on the top left hand side. Very good conditon for the age of this print.
