EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Bank Holiday at the British Museum" offers a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era. Created by Samuel Begg in 1887, it depicts a bustling scene during one of London's bank holidays. Families from all walks of life have flocked to the iconic British Museum, seeking entertainment and enlightenment. In this print, we observe an eclectic mix of visitors eagerly exploring the museum's chambers. Children marvel at ancient artifacts while their parents admire intricate engravings and sculptures. The atmosphere is alive with curiosity and excitement as people wait patiently to enter each room. Notably, Begg highlights some unusual encounters within the museum walls. In one corner, we see a lady observing an embalming chamber with both fascination and horror. Nearby, lost tribesmen are recognized among Etruscan relics—a testament to the vastness of human history contained within these hallowed halls. The artist also captures moments that reflect societal norms and practices of the time. Ineffectual precautions taken by police officers fail to prevent mischievous children from straying off track or engaging in playful antics around priceless exhibits. Overall, this engraving serves as a vivid reminder of how bank holidays provided opportunities for families to bond over cultural experiences during Victorian times. It invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this vibrant crowd—absorbing knowledge, creating memories, and cherishing those precious moments spent together on
