The interior of the Wren Library, Cambridge (Trinity College), looking towards the window at the south end.
The library was designed by Christopher Wren and completed in 1695, although the coffered ceiling was only finished to Wren's design in the 19th Century. Wren's major inovation was to fill the library with light coming through the rows of tall windows lining the east and west walls. The windows are positioned above the book stacks in order to maximise the available wall space for storing books.
The ends of the bookcases sport intricate carvings by Grinling Gibbons in the lighter limewood, whilst on top of each bookcase are plaster casts of busts notable writers through the ages. The marble busts standing on plinths are mostly by Louis-François Roubiliac and represent famous fellows of Trinity College from the 17th and 18th century.
