EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures the essence of academic life at St Johns College, Cambridge University in the 19th century. The image showcases a Pensoner, Fellow Commoner adorned in traditional attire, as depicted in "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" by H Hyde. Dressed in sub fusc - formal clothing worn for examinations and official occasions - this distinguished figure exudes intellect and prestige. Their mortar board sits proudly atop their head, symbolizing their scholarly achievements within this esteemed institution. Surrounded by fellow students donning gowns and various forms of academic dress, this print transports us back to a time when education was highly revered and celebrated. The rich detail captured in each garment highlights the importance placed on tradition within these hallowed halls. St Johns College stands as an iconic backdrop to this scene, its architectural beauty serving as a reminder of centuries-old knowledge being passed down through generations. This engraving not only immortalizes a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to the enduring legacy that institutions like St Johns College have had on shaping minds and fostering intellectual growth. As we gaze upon this image from our private collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure that education holds and how it continues to shape individuals' lives even today.
