EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures the essence of academic tradition at Cambridge University in the 19th century. Titled "Chancellor" this print showcases a distinguished figure adorned in formal attire, representing the esteemed position held by the Chancellor of the university. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in an illustrated book called "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" by H Hyde. In this image, we see students and teachers alike donning their sub fusc attire, complete with mortar boards and gowns. The clothing exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting centuries-old traditions that have become synonymous with prestigious educational institutions like Cambridge. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every fold in the fabric, every intricate pattern on each garment has been meticulously captured. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when education was highly revered and dressing appropriately for academic occasions was paramount. As we admire this snapshot from history, it becomes evident how much fashion has evolved over time. From Prince Albert-inspired coats to unique headwear choices, these traditional garments tell a story about not only academia but also societal norms during that period. This print serves as a visual reminder of our rich educational heritage while showcasing timeless style that continues to inspire today's scholars.
