EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the essence of academic excellence and tradition at Cambridge University in the 19th century. The print showcases two distinguished individuals, a Doctor of Medicine and a Doctor of Divinity, adorned in their formal attire. The doctors are depicted wearing sub fusc, the traditional clothing worn by students and teachers at Cambridge. Their gowns flow elegantly around them, symbolizing their scholarly achievements and dedication to knowledge. On their heads rest mortar boards, an iconic symbol associated with academia. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every fold in the fabric is meticulously etched, bringing life to these historical figures. The artist has perfectly captured the fashion trends of that era while maintaining an air of sophistication. This image not only highlights the importance placed on education during this time but also serves as a reminder of the rich history embedded within prestigious institutions like Cambridge University. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come in our pursuit of knowledge while honoring those who paved the way for future generations. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when intellectual pursuits were highly valued and celebrated. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and reminds us that education truly knows no bounds or limitations.
