EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Pensioner of Pembroke College in mourning, Pensioner, Christs College" takes us back to the 19th century at the prestigious University of Cambridge. The print showcases a pensioner, a senior member of Pembroke College, dressed in traditional academic attire while in mourning. The image is part of an illustration for "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" a publication by H Hyde circa 1850. It offers a glimpse into the formal and solemn dress code adhered to by scholars during that era. The pensioner's sub fusc outfit consists of a flowing gown and mortar board headwear, symbolizing their status within academia. The somber mood is further emphasized by their clothing choice as they mournfully pay tribute to someone or something significant. This print not only highlights the rich history and traditions associated with Cambridge University but also serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time. It transports us back to an era where education was highly revered and celebrated through distinctive clothing choices. Through this beautifully preserved engraving from Bridgeman Images' Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, we are granted access to an intimate moment frozen in time – one that captures both the intellectual rigor and emotional depth experienced within these hallowed halls centuries ago.
