The will of Cecil John Rhodes (1853-1902) created scholarships which came to be called the Rhodes Scholarships, and appointed Trustees to oversee the implementation of Rhodes' vision.

Rhodes designed the Scholarships for the purpose of educating future leaders for the world. He had studied at Oxford and believed that its collegiate system especially fostered broad views and personal development.

There were originally 52 scholarships. During the ensuing 100 years, the Trustees added at one time or another approximately another 40 Scholarships, though not all have continued. Some of these extended the scheme to Commonwealth countries not mentioned in the will.

The first women Scholars came to Oxford in 1977.

About the Products

Charles Broadhurst was born in Birmingham on 22nd August 1903 but moved with his family to Oxford when he was very young. He did not realise his talent until a footballing injury gave him time to experiment with pencil and paper.

Now 90 years on, and just short of 100 images later, his sons are making his artistry available to the world at large. Not all images will be made available but the expectation is that the list available for purchase will eventually number close to 60.

In both A3 (297 x 420 mm, 11.69 x 16.54 inches, £15) and A4 (210 x 297 mm 8.27 x 11.69 inches, £10) sizes the prints available for sale are taken directly from the original pen and ink drawings, using the latest reprographic techniques.

Delivery is an additional £3.50 to anywhere in the world.
