EDITORS COMMENTS
Varsity Sketches: Trapped - Caught by the Master" is a humorous and lighthearted illustration from the year 1907, depicting an enterprising university student in a moment of mischief. The scene takes place on a bustling college campus, with students in academic gowns and porters going about their business. In the foreground, an unfortunate student is seen attempting to light a cigarette using a street gas lamp. The expression on his face is one of surprise and embarrassment as a stern-looking master approaches from behind, with a bulldog in tow. The master, dressed in academic robes and a mortarboard, looks disapprovingly at the student, no doubt ready to reprimand him for his rule-breaking behavior. The student, with a sheepish grin, looks back at the master, knowing that he has been caught in the act. The scene is filled with a sense of fun and humor, as the student's attempt to evade detection has backfired spectacularly. The illustration is reminiscent of the "Varsity Sketches" series, a collection of humorous and satirical cartoons that were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These sketches often depicted the everyday life and foibles of university students and academics, providing a lighthearted and entertaining look into the world of higher education. Despite the playful tone, the illustration also serves as a reminder of the strict rules and regulations that governed university life during this period. The image of the master and his bulldog, symbols of authority and discipline, underscore the importance of adhering to the rules, even if it means missing out on a quick cigarette. Overall, "Varsity Sketches: Trapped - Caught by the Master" is a delightful and amusing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of university life over a century ago.
