EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "First Bow to Alma Mater, or Bernard Blackmantles introduction to the Big Wig" we are transported back in time to the prestigious halls of Oxford University in 1824. The hand-colored engraving by Isaac Robert Cruikshank captures a momentous occasion for young Bernard Blackmantle as he is introduced to his esteemed professor, known as the "Big Wig". The scene unfolds within an academic study, where books and papers adorn every surface. As Bernard nervously approaches his tutor, we can sense both excitement and trepidation on his face. This comical portrayal highlights the universal experience of any undergraduate entering into higher education. The Regency-era setting adds an air of elegance and tradition to the image, reminding us of the rich history associated with institutions like Oxford University. The attention to detail in this humorous cartoon allows us a glimpse into student life during this period. This engraving not only showcases the importance placed on education but also serves as a reminder that even scholars have their humble beginnings. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys through academia while appreciating the timeless humor captured within this artwork. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this piece from Fine Art Finder offers a delightful window into history without mentioning its commercial use.
