EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1882 engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to experience the vibrant university life at Oxford. The image showcases various aspects of this esteemed institution, highlighting both its traditions and vices. The first scene depicts tandem driving, considered the Eighth Deadly Sin by the Proctor. This playful but forbidden activity adds a touch of rebellion to the otherwise disciplined atmosphere. In contrast, we see a student taking flight in another frame, symbolizing freedom and ambition within academia. The Academical Costume is beautifully illustrated in intricate detail, showcasing the regal attire worn by scholars during important ceremonies. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and prestige associated with Oxford University. Inquisitiveness is captured in frames four and five when an authoritative figure questions whether someone is a member of this prestigious university. These encounters are likely filled with anticipation and nervousness for those being questioned. Moving on to leisure activities, billiards after 9 PM becomes an enjoyable pastime for students seeking relaxation amidst their rigorous studies. Lastly, we witness a contribution being made to the University Chest - an act that demonstrates support for academic endeavors and community welfare. This vintage engraving exudes Victorian charm through its illustrative technique and retro styling. It offers us a glimpse into university life at Oxford during this era while reminding us of timeless values such as knowledge-seeking, camaraderie, discipline, curiosity, tradition preservation, and philanthropy that continue to shape educational institutions today.
