Cambridge is drawn as two institutions with a modern tower wedged between them, and the line spends most of its length low to the ground. The tallest point is plain. Everything with ornament on it is short.
What is in the drawing
A low building with a small spire opens the left, with stepped blocks climbing behind it and a cluster of flat roofs beyond. A slab with a notch rises next, and then the tallest thing here, a tower narrowing to a peaked crown. The line drops sharply from there into a long low hall whose roof carries a tower crowded with pinnacles, and a smaller pointed cap stands beside it. The right is a long arcaded range running flat along the base with a shallow dome and a lantern set on top of it, and a small block closes the line.
Who buys it
Cambridge is a graduation present more often than anything else in this catalog, and it sells year round rather than in a season, because people move there for work as well as for study. It is also one of the few drawings here that a buyer chooses for two separate buildings at once.
Mug or canvas
Format first: this one is a canvas argument. Ink measures 0.058, unremarkable until you notice how unevenly it falls, with the pinnacled tower and the arcade holding nearly all of it while the middle stays open. Fine detail bunched into two places is what a 30 by 20 rescues and an 18 by 12 muddles. The proportion, 2.318 to 1, takes it round a mug if that is the gift.
