Peterhouse 5 Peterhouse portraits

The College is fortunate to have accumulated, through commission, gift or purchase, an extensive collection of pictures and busts, dating back in the case of the panel portraits to the mid 16th century. Spanning the centuries since and by a range of more or less distinguished hands, the collection’s coherence derives 1 entirely from its Peterhouse associations The pictures record for posterity the images, and in some cases the activities, of Masters, distinguished Fellows and benefactors. While usefully and appropriately decorating the listed interiors of the Hall, Library, other public rooms and Fellows’ sets, the pictures serve as a tangible reminder of those who have shaped the intellectual life of the College and as a spur to similar attainment. There has been a concerted effort in recent years to accelerate the process of conservation and increase the number of items put on display rather than kept in store. Several of the portraits featured on these pages have benefited from the generous support of Adrian Clark (matric. 1976), including that of Sir James Dewar ( shown at 1) which also features his best known invention, the vacuum jacketed Dewar storage flask, used for his research. On a smaller scale the collection of C18th engravings of College worthies has also been restored and re-hung, while a number of 2 3 early photographs of both Fellows and sports teams are currently undergoing conservation. And the collection continues to grow. In 2008 the College commissioned Paul Brason, President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, to paint a portrait of its then Master Lord Wilson ( shown at 6) which, following exhibition in London, now hangs in the Theatre Lobby. Recent gifts include a chalk drawing by Aidan Savage of Dom David Knowles (Fellow 1944–1963 and latterly Regius Professor of Modern History) as a young man, generously donated by Ian and Linda Quinn in memory of their son Sean, and a contemporary portrait of another History Fellow, Professor Brendan Simms by Thomas Leveritt (matric. 1994), kindly presented by the artist. We hope to feature these new accessions in a future edition of the newsletter. 1 Sir James Dewar, Fellow 1883–1923, Jacksonian Professor of Experimental Philosophy, by WQ Orchardson 2 William Smyth, Fellow 1788–1825, Regius Professor of Modern History 3 Edmund Law, Lord Bishop of Carlisle, Master 1754–1787, after Romney 4 Lord Gorell of Brampton, Honorary Fellow, by Anna Airy 4

A project of this magnitude and complexity will e b inevitably need to be carried out in phases, not least in order to minimise disruption to the life and work of the College. Construction of the new building itself is expected to take eighteen months, running from mid-2012 until the end of 2013. Getting the project under way soon should allow the College to secure favourable construction rates, while the phasing spreads the cost and allows time for the necessary funding to accrue through the Development Campaign. The proposed new building, pictured right, was designed by John Simpson, who enjoys an international reputation and is the architect, amongst much else, of the award-winning

Etching by Ingamells In order to mark Peterhouse’s 725th anniversary the Master and Fellows commissioned Andrew Ingamells to produce an original gravure etching of the College (shown left, with the artist, and the printer Peter Kosowicz). The artist is well known for his etchings of classical architectural subjects such as the Tate Gallery, the Royal Academy, the Paris Opéra and St Mark’s, Venice, and is represented in collections as diverse as English Heritage, the Museum of London, the Guildhall Library and the Paul Mellon Collection of British Art. This substantial and detailed etching captures the principal buildings on the main College site from an unusual aerial perspective and includes an architectural description. This approach mirrors the classic C17th engravings of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges produced by Loggan. The meticulous process of creating the image and executing the plate is illustrated below. Production is limited to 100 signed and numbered prints, with the plate being deposited with the College thereafter. A leaflet containing further information for Petreans wishing to purchase one of these prints is enclosed with
