Cambridge, nd, [c. 1930s]
[800/1,200]
A description of an likely mid-1930s exhibition of Cambridge’s cultural artifacts of note: “A
Cambridge resident myself, I got on the London train as soon as this exhibition opened. And
perused the objects that had preceded me to the metropolis...When I entered Goldsmith’s Mall
I was welcomed by local sounds as well as by local sights...Fancy my coming all this way to see
what I might have seen at home.” Forster lists highlights of his visit, including a bust of
Charles II, various paintings,“and - more moving than all of them emotionally - is Essex Cup
itself.”
