EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover, titled "Cap and Gown Lancers," showcases a lively dance scene inspired by the Scottish Students Song Book, composed by Margaret Canmore during the 19th century. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of academic life during this era, with women in red academic gowns and mortar boards, adorned with tassels and academic insignia, engaging in a lancers dance. The cover art features stunning views of four prominent Scottish universities: Aberdeen, St Andrew's, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Each city's university is depicted with its unique architectural charm, adding to the richness of the scene. The Victorian-era illustration, published by Bayley & Ferguson in London, is a testament to the vibrant student culture of the time. The lancers dance, a popular social activity among students, is depicted with grace and energy, reflecting the spirit of camaraderie and joy that permeated the academic community. The cover art serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of women students in Scotland during the 19th century and their dedication to both their education and social activities. The intricate details of the illustration, from the intricate patterns on the academic gowns to the ornate architecture of the universities, make this a truly captivating piece of historical art.
