EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures the essence of academic tradition at Cambridge University in the 19th century. Titled "Master of Arts in Hat, Master of Arts with Hood and Band" this print showcases the distinctive attire worn by teachers and students during formal occasions. The image depicts a group of individuals dressed in their sub fusc, a traditional gown-like garment worn over dark clothing. The focal point is on two figures: one wearing a hat adorned with an elegant band, denoting their status as a Master of Arts; while the other dons a hood along with their hat. Every detail has been meticulously engraved to showcase the intricate designs and textures of these garments. From the delicate folds and pleats to the ornate patterns on each piece, it is evident that great care was taken to accurately depict these iconic symbols of academia. This illustration originally appeared in "The Costumes of the Members of the University of Cambridge" by H Hyde around 1850. It serves as both an educational resource for understanding historical dress codes within universities and as a testament to timeless fashion that continues to be cherished today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how education intertwines with sartorial elegance at one of England's most prestigious institutions.
