The University Church of St Mary the Virgin is an Oxford church situated on the north side of the High Street. It is the center from which the University of Oxford grew and its parish consists almost exclusively of university and college buildings.

By the thirteenth century the University was already making use of an earlier church on this site for meetings, examinations, and sessions of the Chancellor’s Court. In the early fourteenth century the University built the old Congregation House on the east side of the church tower for meetings of Congregation, and in the fifteenth century the church itself was largely rebuilt.

The porch on the south side with a statue of the Virgin and Child was added in the early seventeenth century: their heads were shot away by a parliamentary soldier in 1642, and restored in 1662.

By the eighteenth century, the University had built Convocation House for meetings of Convocation (all Masters of Arts on the books of the colleges) at the west end of the Divinity School and the Sheldonian Theatre for ceremonies, and the weekly University Sermon, which still takes place today, became the only regular institutional connection between the church and the University.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
