On a sun-drenched summer day, students and visitors lounge on the manicured lawns of Trinity College, while punts drift gently along the River Cam. To the right, the grand neoclassical façade of the Wren Library stands proud, framed by weeping willows and golden light. The postcard evokes the timeless ritual of Cambridge in bloom — a blend of intellectual grandeur and riverside calm.

Published by Vistacolour and photographed by Peter Brown, this card was likely issued in the late 1960s or 1970s. The reverse credits the image as “The Wren Library, Trinity College” and features the distinctive Vistacolour chevron filmstrip motif, with “Printed in Spain” noted below. It remains unposted, retaining its clean format and vintage design cues.

This postcard will resonate with collectors of academic ephemera, Oxbridge views, or architectural photography. It preserves not only a landmark of British learning, but also the lived culture of quiet afternoons by the Cam — a place where scholarship and scenery have met for centuries.
