Plate 3 from The Rakes Progress at University - A Satirical Snapshot of Academic Chaos
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hand-colored etching, James Gillray takes a mischievous jab at the follies and vices of university life in early 19th-century England. Plate 3 from The Rakes Progress at University, published by Hannah Humphrey in 1806, is a brilliant parody inspired by William Hogarth's renowned series. The scene unfolds within the hallowed halls of academia, where chaos reigns supreme. A spoiled youth clad in fashionable attire brandishes a broom as he chases his pet dog through the corridors. His mortar board sits askew on his head, symbolizing his disregard for scholarly pursuits. Meanwhile, an exasperated teacher cowers before the unruly cad who breaks every rule with impunity. Dressed in a master's gown and clutching a cane, he futilely attempts to restore order amidst this satirical spectacle. Gillray's sharp wit shines through as he captures the essence of societal decadence and intellectual apathy prevalent among privileged students during that era. Through exaggerated caricatures and meticulous engraving techniques, he exposes their foppish demeanor and disdain for academic discipline. This print offers us an amusing glimpse into an era when education was often overshadowed by hedonistic pursuits and social status. It serves as both a cautionary tale and social commentary on the consequences of indulgence without responsibility. Courtesy of New College Oxford's collection, this
