The Rag (litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical print that captures the chaos and mayhem of a riotous scene in early 20th-century universities. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a clash between students and policemen amidst the backdrop of looting and fighting. In this comical yet scathing satire, undergraduates don their traditional gowns and mortar boards as they confront each other in a battle for who knows what. The cartoon-like depiction adds humor to the scene, with students arm-in-arm against uniformed officers trying to maintain order. The postcard format suggests that "The Rag" was meant to be shared among friends or perhaps even sent as a humorous message during those tumultuous times. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary on the clashes between authority figures and rebellious youth. This print from Fine Art Finder's private collection offers us a glimpse into the rioting spirit of university life at that time. With its detailed engravings capturing every aspect of the brawl – from looted items strewn about to policemen desperately trying to restore peace – it immerses viewers into this chaotic world. "The Rag (litho)" is not just an amusing piece; it also highlights deeper themes such as conflict, confrontation, and societal unrest. This artwork reminds us that even within institutions dedicated to knowledge-seeking, there can be moments when chaos reigns supreme.
