EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of a colorful battle that took place to commemorate the election of Lloyd George as Lord Rector of the University of Edinburgh. As tradition dictates, students engaged in a fierce fight using launches of eggs and yellow and blue soil from Prussia. The image showcases a staircase filled with energetic young individuals, clad in traditional Scottish attire, engaging in this lively political spectacle. The staging of this battle reflects the deep-rooted traditions and customs associated with British universities. It symbolizes not only the students' enthusiasm for their chosen leader but also their commitment to upholding age-old practices. Beltrame Achille, an Italian illustrator known for his attention to detail, beautifully captures every aspect of this scene. From the expressions on each student's face to the splashes of color created by flying eggs and dye-filled projectiles, he brings life and energy into every brushstroke. This photograph serves as a testament to both historical events and cultural significance within Great Britain. It reminds us that politics can be playful yet passionate at times, showcasing how even seemingly trivial battles can hold great meaning when it comes to tradition and identity.
