Sweet Girl-Graduates... Afternoon Tea Versus Wine, 1872. Artist: Joseph Swain
Sweet Girl-Graduates... Afternoon Tea Versus Wine, 1872. The ladies, all of whom look very studious, drink tea, whilst the men would prefer a beer. A man leaning on the piano stares into space. It was only comparatively recently that young women had been able to attend universities and, in this cartoon, Punch takes a satirical look at the difference in celebration between men and women. From Punch, or the London Charivari, December 17, 1872

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sweet Girl-Graduates. . . Afternoon Tea Versus Wine, 1872" artist Joseph Swain captures a satirical scene that reflects the changing dynamics of education and celebration in the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of studious young women enjoying afternoon tea while their male counterparts opt for beer. A man leaning on the piano gazes into space, perhaps lost in contemplation. During this era, it was a relatively recent development for young women to have access to higher education. Punch magazine, known for its wit and satire, takes a playful jab at the contrasting celebrations between men and women in academia through this cartoon. The image highlights societal expectations and gender roles prevalent during that time. The composition features various elements such as music, politics, and feline companionship. The presence of a cat adds an intriguing touch to the scene, symbolizing independence or perhaps reflecting upon how society viewed educated women as unconventional or even mysterious. This black-and-white engraving by George du Maurier is not only visually appealing but also serves as an important historical document showcasing the progress made by women in pursuing higher education. It reminds us of the challenges faced by these trailblazing graduates who defied societal norms to achieve academic success. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to contemplate themes of equality, tradition versus progress, and societal perceptions surrounding gender roles within educational institutions during Britain's 19th-century landscape.
