EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful print titled "Bucks of the First Head" created by the renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported to the vibrant world of Oxford University in a bygone era. The image captures a group of spirited undergraduates engaging in lighthearted banter and flirtation, their mortarboards perched jauntily on their heads. Rowlandson's masterful use of line and wit brings each character to life, as they exude youthful energy and mischief. The scene is filled with animated conversation and laughter, suggesting a carefree camaraderie among these scholarly gentlemen. The setting itself is unmistakably Oxford, with its iconic architecture forming the backdrop for this lively gathering. As we gaze upon this print from yesteryears, it serves as a charming reminder that even within the hallowed halls of academia, young hearts cannot resist the allure of romance. Preserved within the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this artwork stands as a testament to Rowlandson's talent for capturing human nature with humor and warmth. It invites us to reflect on our own experiences at university or simply revel in the timeless joy found within friendships forged during those formative years. This snapshot into history offers an enchanting glimpse into an Oxford long past – where mortarboard-clad students navigate both academic pursuits and matters of the heart amidst an atmosphere brimming with intellectuality and mirth.
