Library, Lucy Cavendish College Cambridge

The library at Lucy Cavendish is a cheerful space full of blue and yellowed wood. Built in 2000, the beamed and vaulted ceiling at the top leads to tall windows overlooking the garden and book sculpture. Some of the bookshelves have built in retractable lecterns, the only ones I’ve seen in Cambridge. Their rare book room has a lovely collection of Victorian decorated spines (eg see ‘Books III‘ below).

This photographic collection of the Library at Lucy Cavendish College Cambridge was photographed in 2018-19 and contains 33 images, a small selection of which are shown below and available as giclee prints in many sizes. Fine art photography of the Library, Lucy Cavendish College Cambridge presented as part of the large Illuminating Cambridge Libraries series.
