[Cambridge. Queen's College, President's Gallery.] 59. [Queen's College was founded in 1446 by Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth Wydvil. The whole of the first court, together with the Library and Chapel, was finished within a few years of the foundation. The President's Gallery, which was superimposed on the older northern cloister, is a beautiful and little altered specimen of the domestic architecture of the 16th Century. It was panelled by Humphrey Tindal, who was President between 1579 and 1614. The Gallery, one of the oustanding buildings in Cambridge, consists of one large room; in addition to the fine timber work and picturesque windows, it is notable for some fine paintings, including one by Reynolds and one by Holbein of Erasmus, who is the most famous of all the names associated with the College. The exterior of the Gallery was originally even more striking than it is now; 17th century prints show that all the windows on the court side were double decker bow windows resting on wooden pillars and surmounted by lofty turrets. They proved too heavy, and were reduced to the present proportions, the middle window remaining closest to the original design for all three of them.]
