This lithograph, titled "The Fourth of June at Eton, Scene from The Frogs of Aristophanes" captures a vibrant moment in time. Created by Sydney Prior Hall in 1899, this print showcases the lively festivities that took place on the renowned Fourth of June celebration at Eton College. The scene depicted is inspired by Aristophanes' play "The Frogs" and features an array of distinguished individuals including Mr. Justice Kennedy, Earl of Kimberley, MP, Duke of Newcastle, Marquis of Bath, Earl of Rosebery, Dean of Ripon, Lord Chancellor and many others. These esteemed figures gather to partake in the age-old traditions and revelries associated with this special day. As we delve into this image's intricate details and rich symbolism, it becomes evident that it encapsulates not only the joyous spirit but also the deep-rooted customs cherished at Eton College. From canon Wilberforce to Lord Cottesloe and Colonel Napier Miles – each character adds their own unique presence to this tableau. Hall's masterful engraving technique brings life to every figure present while capturing the essence and grandeur surrounding these celebrations. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Preserved within a private collection today but originally published in The Graphic on June 10th 1899; this lithograph allows us a glimpse into an era long past yet forever etched in our collective memory.
