EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Examination of the students of the University of Durham, October 1842" offers a glimpse into the academic world of 19th century England. The image showcases a grand hall filled with rows of students diligently sitting at tables adorned with books and writing materials. Dressed in traditional Victorian attire, their gowns and mortar boards symbolize their status as undergraduates. The atmosphere is one of intense focus as an invigilator oversees the proceedings. Surrounding them are towering bookshelves that speak to the importance placed on knowledge and learning during this era. This scene captures not only a specific moment in time but also reflects broader themes such as education, British culture, and intellectual pursuits. The print transports us back to a time when examinations were conducted with pen and paper rather than digital screens. It reminds us that even centuries ago, students faced similar challenges and pressures when it came to proving their knowledge and skills. As we observe this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how far education has come since then while appreciating the timeless pursuit for knowledge that continues to shape our society today.
