EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases the attire and traditions of Cambridge University's Clare Hall. The print, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the world of academia during this era. Intriguingly titled "Fellow Commoner, Pensioner" this image brings to life the distinctive clothing worn by students and teachers alike. Adorned in their sub fusc attire, complete with mortar boards and formal gowns, these figures exude an air of intellectual sophistication. The illustration is believed to have been created for a publication called "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" by H Hyde around 1850. It serves as a valuable historical document that captures both fashion trends and academic customs prevalent at that time. Clare Hall itself stands as an emblematic representation of traditional college life within Cambridge University. This print transports us back to an era when education was highly revered and deeply rooted in tradition. Whether you are fascinated by vintage fashion or intrigued by academic history, this enchanting engraving provides a window into a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by institutions like Clare Hall at Cambridge University.
