The Curious Survivals of the Past - A Glimpse into Old England's School Traditions
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Curious Survivals of the Past" takes us back to a bygone era in England. The image showcases a ceremonial cake throwing ceremony, steeped in ancient tradition, which has endured through time and is still practiced at Westminster School. In this vibrant scene captured by Achille Beltrame, we see a group of schoolboys dressed in traditional uniforms surrounding a college man at the center. They form a tight circle, eagerly scrambling for their chance to participate in this spirited game. Tails and old-fashioned attire evoke nostalgia for an age when education was both rigorous and ceremonious. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as these young boys engage in friendly combat over the scrumptious dessert. It's an intriguing spectacle that speaks volumes about British culture and its commitment to preserving traditions. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures the essence of this unique event, showcasing not only the physical confrontation but also the camaraderie among these students. The image transports us back to a time when such games were an integral part of public schooling. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that some customs have managed to survive against all odds – bridging generations and connecting us with our past.
