EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant performance of "The Birds" by Aristophanes at St Andrews Hall, Cambridge, brought to life by members of the university in the 19th century. The illustration, featured in The Graphic on December 8th, 1883, showcases the remarkable talent and dedication of these young performers. Intriguing characters such as Pithetaerus, Mr. Newton, and Iris grace the stage with their presence alongside a chorus that adds depth and harmony to this theatrical masterpiece. The scene depicts an enthralling moment during the play's parabasis where Inspector and University Priest engage in a lively exchange. Every detail has been meticulously captured by the English School artist who skillfully portrays not only the actors but also highlights St Andrews Hall as a grand backdrop for this extraordinary performance. The audience can almost feel themselves transported back in time to witness this spectacle firsthand. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection now released into public domain, it serves as a testament to both artistic expression and scholarly achievement within Cambridge University. It is evident that theater played an integral role in shaping cultural experiences for students during this era. This engraving immortalizes not just one particular production but also celebrates the enduring power of theater itself – its ability to entertain, educate, and inspire generations across time.
