EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Commoner" takes us back in time to the Regency era, immersing us in the academic world of Oxford University. Engraved by J. Agar and published in R. Ackermann's History of Oxford in 1813, this hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures a full-length seated portrait of a distinguished male student. Dressed impeccably in traditional university attire, complete with a mortar board atop his head, this commoner exudes an air of intellect and scholarly pursuit. The intricate details on his gown and cap showcase the craftsmanship involved in creating such an exquisite piece of art. The artist behind this masterpiece is Thomas Uwins (1782-1857), who skillfully brought life to this image through his meticulous rendering. Courtesy of the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, we are fortunate to have access to this historical gem that offers a glimpse into academia during that period. As we admire this print, we can't help but imagine the countless hours spent studying within ancient halls adorned with oak paneling and towering bookshelves filled with knowledge from centuries past. This artwork serves as a reminder not only of the rich history embedded within these prestigious institutions but also pays homage to those dedicated scholars who paved the way for future generations. With its timeless appeal and artistic brilliance, "Commoner" remains an iconic representation of university life during one of England's most fascinating eras – truly capturing both our imagination and admiration for academia throughout history.
