EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Page from A Cambridge Scrap-Book, 1859" offers a delightful glimpse into the academic life and customs of the University of Cambridge during the mid-19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "A Cambridge Scrap-Book" published by Macmillan in 1859. In this whimsical scene, we witness a group of Victorian-era undergraduate students indulging in their favorite pastime - enjoying some well-deserved refreshments. With its comic undertones, the engraving humorously captures the jovial atmosphere that often accompanied social gatherings at Trinity College. The young men are depicted engaged in lively conversation while savoring ale and wine from pewter mugs. Their camaraderie is evident as they share laughter and anecdotes over dinner. This light-hearted portrayal sheds light on the vibrant social fabric that existed within these esteemed academic institutions. Notably, one cannot overlook the presence of German influence in this depiction. As Germany's brewing traditions were highly regarded during this period, it appears that these students have developed a fondness for German beverages amidst their studies. Overall, this enchanting print not only provides historical insights into university life but also showcases how cultural influences can shape social interactions among scholars. It serves as a testament to both British and German cultures coexisting harmoniously within academia during this era.
