EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures the essence of academic life at Magdalen College, Cambridge University in the 19th century. The image showcases a Pensioner and Fellow Commoner, both distinguished members of this prestigious institution. Dressed in their traditional sub fusc attire, complete with mortar boards and flowing gowns, these scholars exude an air of intellect and sophistication. Their clothing reflects the formalities and traditions that have been upheld for centuries within the walls of Magdalen College. The illustration is part of "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" collection by H Hyde, published around 1850. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style prevalent among students during this era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when education was highly valued and revered. The dedication to learning is evident in every detail - from their meticulously tailored garments to their serious expressions. This artwork serves as a reminder not only of our rich academic heritage but also highlights how much has changed since then. It invites us to appreciate both the timeless beauty captured in this engraving and how far we have come in shaping modern educational institutions like Magdalen College at Cambridge University.
