Plate 4 from The Rakes Progress at the University - A Satirical Take on Academic Life

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Plate 4 from The Rakes Progress at the University, a parody of William Hogarth's renowned series. Created by James Gillray in 1806 and published by Hannah Humphrey, this hand-coloured etching offers a humorous glimpse into the world of academia. In this scene, we witness a spoiled youth donning his mortar board while breaking all the rules. With an air of fashionable dress and arrogance, he doffs his cap to mock authority figures as he revels in his rebellious behavior. However, his mischievous actions have not gone unnoticed. The master and beadle catch him red-handed, resulting in a stern rebuke and chastisement. Clad in traditional gowns that symbolize their positions of power within the university setting, these figures represent discipline and order amidst chaos. Gillray's caricature style adds an extra layer of satire to this composition. He brilliantly portrays the young man as a cad, dandy or fop – someone who prioritizes appearance over substance – highlighting society's obsession with superficiality during that era. Through intricate engraving techniques, Gillray brings this social commentary to life. This print serves as both entertainment and critique; it invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of indulgence and disregard for established norms within academic institutions. Courtesy of New College Oxford's collection, this remarkable piece showcases Gillray's
