King's College Gatehouse offers a window through an archway, overlooking the Great Court towards the neo-gothic Gatehouse at King's College, Cambridge, captured by Slim Aarons circa 1949. The frame within a frame composition draws the eye through layers of architectural grandeur, inviting you to step across centuries of scholarly tradition. Stone arches frame the distant Gatehouse, its gothic spires reaching skyward, while the cobbled courtyard spreads between ancient walls that have witnessed generations of Cambridge life, all rendered in Aarons' signature style that elevates documentary photography into timeless art.

This print transforms your space into a portal where intellectual heritage meets contemporary sophistication, where King's College Gatehouse becomes more than a photograph on your wall. The composition's depth draws visitors into conversation, inviting them to trace the perspective from foreground arch to distant spire, discovering how Slim Aarons captured not just architecture but the essence of academic excellence. In your study, it creates an atmosphere of contemplation and refinement; in your living room, it anchors the space with gravitas and cultural depth, seamlessly harmonizing with both modern minimalist and traditional interiors while sparking endless discussions about history, architecture, and the art of observation.

Available in photo lustre or matte finish, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood. This piece serves as your daily reminder that true sophistication comes from connecting past and present, bringing the grandeur of Cambridge's most celebrated college into your home. Make it yours today.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
