UK ~ The Cambridge Colleges ~

... Wonderful pen and watercoulour illustrations of the 31 Cambridge Colleges, each with its own facilities and traditions... artwork by artist K J Lewis, who lives near Cambridge since graduating from the university... Cambridge is a beautiful historic city... its elegant centre is framed by architectural triumphs, surrounded by green spaces and home to the University of Cambridge’s world-famous colleges... one of the oldest and highest-ranking universities in the world...Thanks a lot Josep&Assumpta!

All of the University of Cambridge colleges were founded between the 13th and 20th centuries, but none were established between 1596 and 1800. This allows the colleges to be classified into two groups following their foundation date. There are 16 old colleges established between 1284 and 1596, and 15 new colleges established between 1800 and 1977. All students and the vast majority of academics are attached to a specific college within the university.
