EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Fifth Anniversary Meeting of the Archaeological Institute, held in the grandeur of Oxford's Sheldonian Theatre in 1850. The Neo-Gothic architecture of the Sheldonian Theatre, with its intricate stonework and soaring arches, serves as an elegant backdrop to the assembled scholars and gentlemen. The presiding figure, dressed in academic robes and holding a mace, stands at the head of the table, while attendees, some with top hats and canes, engage in animated discussion. The atmosphere is one of intellectual curiosity and excitement, reflecting the growing interest in archaeology and the study of history during the Victorian era. The print, which was originally published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the intricate design elements of the Gothic Revival, with its horn-like motifs and ornate engraving. This snapshot of a pivotal moment in the history of archaeology offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the pursuit of knowledge was a grand and noble endeavor.
