EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured copperplate print from 1825, we see a daring student attempting to smuggle a woman in a basket into his college rooms. The scene is set at Oxford University, where the strict rules and watchful eyes of the Proctors and Bulldogs make such brazen acts nearly impossible to get away with.
The image captures the tension and excitement of the moment as the student carefully navigates his way past the authorities, hoping to avoid detection. The woman in the basket looks both nervous and exhilarated, adding an element of danger to their escapade.
Robert Cruikshank's detailed engraving brings this scene to life, showcasing not only the humor but also the ingenuity of those who are willing to bend or break the rules for love or adventure. Bernard Blackmantle's witty commentary adds another layer of satire to this already amusing situation.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder that even in prestigious institutions like Oxford University, there will always be individuals who are willing to push boundaries and challenge authority in pursuit of their desires. It is a timeless depiction of youthful rebellion and mischief that continues to entertain viewers centuries later.
