EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the Rector at the University of Prague surrounded by a diverse group of students hailing from different nationalities. The image, digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity, is an illustration for Julius Hart's Geschichte der Weltlitteratur (History of World Literature) published around 1894. In this historical depiction, we are transported back to the Middle Ages when education was highly valued and sought after. The grandeur of the university buildings in Prague serves as a backdrop for this multicultural gathering, emphasizing the city's rich intellectual heritage. The presence of students representing various nationalities highlights both the cosmopolitan nature of Prague and its renowned reputation as an educational hub during that era. This engraving beautifully captures a moment where knowledge transcends borders and brings together individuals from different walks of life. Amongst these pupils can be seen Czechs, Bohemians, Gypsies (also known as Roma or Romani people), and possibly other nationalities not explicitly mentioned. This portrayal reminds us that education has always been a powerful tool in fostering understanding and unity among diverse communities. As we delve into this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of Prague's literary history but also how it continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty and commitment to learning.
