EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Students at Bonn, 1845" takes us back to a bygone era in Germany. The image showcases a group of young men, their distinctive style reflecting the fashion trends of the mid-19th century. Each student is adorned with a small cap placed jauntily upon a pile of hair, adding an air of youthful confidence to their appearance. The engraving, originally featured in the "Illustrated London News" in 1845, offers us a glimpse into the world of education during this time period. These students are dressed in short quaintly cut morning coats and natty trousers, representing the sartorial choices prevalent among young gentlemen at that time. One cannot help but notice one particular detail: each man holds a meerschaum tobacco pipe, indulging in smoking as they engage in conversation or perhaps contemplate their studies. This unusual sight adds an intriguing layer to our understanding of Victorian customs and social practices. While we may not know who exactly captured this momentous scene or why it was documented for posterity, this photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage surrounding education and student life in Germany during the 19th century. It reminds us that even centuries ago, young people pursued knowledge with passion and embraced unique styles that defined their generation.
