Fine art photography of the Rosemary Murray Library, Murray Edwards College Cambridge presented as part of the large Illuminating Cambridge Libraries series. The library at Murray Edwards was built in the 1960s. It’s barrel-vaulted false clerestory is clearly something to behold, and it’s top floor incites fear of heights for even the most steadfast of souls. The curves and leaves showing through the windows soften the expanse of concrete. Of note in the series is a rare self-portrait of the photographer.
