EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eton Montem, and the Mount, Salt Hill" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the customs and traditions of 19th-century England. The image showcases a lively scene filled with onlookers from all walks of life - men and women, young boys and soldiers - gathered together to witness an important event. The focal point of the photograph is Eton College's initiation ceremony known as Montem. In this grand spectacle, we see students dressed in their traditional uniforms parading proudly alongside horses adorned with flags. The atmosphere is electric as carriages line up along the hillside while horseback riders gracefully navigate through the crowd. Amidst this vibrant display of pageantry, one cannot help but notice the presence of women who have come out to enjoy this unique occasion. Their elegant attire adds a touch of grace amidst the hustle and bustle surrounding them. The hand-colored engraving beautifully captures every detail – from the majestic mountain backdrop to each individual face in the crowd. It serves as a testament to Isaac Robert Cruikshank's artistic talent and his ability to bring historical moments to life through his work. This print offers not only an insight into Eton College's rich history but also provides us with a window into society at that time – where tradition met celebration, creating an unforgettable experience for all those present on that special day at Salt Hill.
