EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of noblemen at Cambridge University in the 19th century. The print showcases the distinct attire worn by these privileged students, highlighting their prestigious status within the academic community. The image features two types of gowns: dress gown and undress gown, both meticulously depicted with intricate details. These garments were an essential part of the traditional clothing worn by students at Cambridge during this era. The noblemen are seen donning their formal attire, complete with sub fusc (a dark suit), mortar boards atop their heads, and other accessories that signify their educational journey. The illustration is taken from "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" by H Hyde, published around 1850. It offers a valuable insight into not only the fashion trends prevalent among university students but also serves as a testament to the rich history and traditions associated with higher education institutions like Cambridge. This print transports us back in time to witness how noble students dressed for their studies at one of England's most esteemed universities. It reminds us that even centuries ago, education was highly valued and celebrated among those fortunate enough to pursue it.
