EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Oxford Transports, or University Exiles" takes us back to the vibrant and rowdy atmosphere of 19th-century Oxford University. Created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank in 1824, this hand-colored engraving offers a humorous glimpse into the licentiousness and revelry that often accompanied student life during the Georgian era. In this scene, we find a group of young men indulging in their favorite pastime - drinking. The room is littered with empty wine bottles as these students push the boundaries of overindulgence. Some have passed out from their excessive imbibing, while others continue to toast and enjoy themselves without restraint. Dressed in traditional gowns and caps, these university exiles engage in bawdy behavior that was characteristic of their time. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of fun to what might otherwise be seen as drunken debauchery. This print not only captures a momentary lapse into bacchanalia but also serves as a social commentary on the excesses prevalent within certain circles at Oxford University during this period. It reminds us that even esteemed institutions are not immune to youthful indiscretions and moments of abandon. As we observe this lively scene frozen in time, it becomes evident that despite being labeled as "exiles" these students found solace and camaraderie within their own exclusive drinking club. This image stands testament to both the historical significance and enduring fascination surrounding student life at one of England's most prestigious
