EDITORS COMMENTS
A Long-Vacation Vigil" by Cuthbert Bede, B.A. 1854: A Humorous Illustration of a Young Man's Anticipation and Disappointment This illustration, titled "A Long-Vacation Vigil," is a monochrome print from the "Illustrated London News" of 1854, featuring an unnamed young man in a state of anticipation and eventual disappointment. The scene is set in a cozy, Victorian study, filled with the trappings of a scholarly life. The young man, dressed in a crisp shirt and waistcoat, sits in an armchair, his feet resting on a waste paper basket. With a determined expression on his face, he clutches a pipe so long that it nearly touches the floor, its smoke curling up towards the ceiling. The young man's gaze is fixed on a desk cluttered with books, as if he is eagerly anticipating the end of the long vacation, which would mark the beginning of his degree studies. The desk is adorned with a scrutoire, a boxing glove, and a pair of boxing gloves, hinting at the young man's dual interests in academia and athletics. A press filled with newspapers and a writing desk complete the picture of a diligent student. However, the scene takes a humorous turn as the young man's anticipation gives way to disappointment. The books that were once meticulously arranged on the table now lie scattered, and the once determined expression on his face has given way to a look of dejection. The long-awaited vacation has stretched on longer than expected, leaving the young man feeling weary and disheartened. This illustration, created under the pseudonym Cuthbert Bede by an unknown artist, offers a delightful glimpse into the life of a Victorian student, capturing the anticipation, determination, and eventual disappointment that often accompany long vacations and the pursuit of higher education.
