First Absence - A Humorous Glimpse into Etonian Morning Routine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This delightful print, titled "First Absence, or Etonians Answering Morning Master Roll" offers a whimsical insight into the daily life of Eton College students in the early 19th century. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank and published in 1824 as part of The English Spy series, this hand-colored engraving captures the essence of humor and tradition within this prestigious boarding school. The scene unfolds in a picturesque courtyard adorned with stunning Georgian architecture. A group of impeccably dressed boys donning their distinctive Eton uniforms - complete with top hats and gowns - eagerly await their turn to answer the morning roll call. Their youthful energy is juxtaposed against the stoic presence of their tutor, who stands tall in his academic attire. With mischievous grins and animated expressions, these young scholars add a touch of levity to an otherwise formal setting. Each boy's unique personality shines through as they engage in this age-old ritual that has become synonymous with Etonian tradition. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from yesteryear, it serves as a reminder that even within esteemed institutions like Eton College, laughter and camaraderie are cherished aspects of student life. This charming caricature encapsulates not only the dedication to education but also the vibrant spirit that thrives within these hallowed halls.
