EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Examinations (engraving)" takes us back to the world of academia in the 19th century. Created by Cuthbert Bede, this engraving is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for the book "The Adventures of Mr Verdant Green An Oxford Freshman". In this amusing depiction, we witness the trials and tribulations faced by university undergraduates during examination time. The image captures the essence of college life with its blend of humor and relatability. As we observe Mr Verdant Green, a freshman at Oxford University, we can't help but chuckle at his comical expression. The artist skillfully portrays the anxiety and pressure that accompany exams through clever visual cues. We are reminded of our own experiences as students facing testing situations. The scene serves as a reminder that even in times of stress, there is always room for laughter. Bede's work not only showcases his artistic talent but also provides insight into undergraduate life during that era. This engraving offers a glimpse into the unique challenges faced by freshmen at prestigious institutions like Oxford. Overall, "Examinations (engraving)" is a delightful piece that combines wit and nostalgia to remind us all of the universal experience shared by students throughout history – navigating exams with equal parts determination and humor.
