1830s Academic Fusiliers Higher Lieutenant Mortar Oval Oxford Silhouettes Spencer Student Wing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative silhouette captures the profile of Charles Spencer Bunyon (1805-?) during his student days at the esteemed University of Oxford in the 1830s. The young man's serious expression and focused gaze convey a sense of determination and academic dedication. Bunyon wears the traditional attire of an Oxford student, including a mortar board perched atop his head and a winged collar. The oval shape of the silhouette highlights the distinctive features of his face, from the sharp angle of his jawline to the slight curve of his nose. Charles Spencer Bunyon later went on to serve as a lieutenant in the 7th Fusiliers, an infantry regiment of the British Army. This silhouette, however, offers a glimpse into his past as a promising scholar at Oxford. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of higher education and the transformative impact it can have on an individual's life. The intricately cut details of the silhouette, from the folds of Bunyon's collar to the delicate lines of his mortar board, speak to the skill and artistry of the silhouette artist who created this portrait.
