Cambridge Dinner Dinners Formal Including Jackets Pictures Pineapple Reunion Settings Tables University
EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant photograph captures the essence of a formal dinner held by the Cambridge University Old Boys Association (CUOB) in the year 1913. The image is filled with an air of sophistication and tradition, as the distinguished gentlemen, all dressed in dinner jackets and bow ties, gather around beautifully set tables. The tables are adorned with immaculate place settings, each complete with a gleaming silverware, fine china, and a crystal glass. The centerpieces add a touch of natural beauty, with lush flowers arranged in vases and a pineapple as the focal point of each table. The pineapple, a symbol of hospitality and prosperity, was a common addition to formal dinners during this era. The fruit was considered a luxury item, and its presence at the dinner table signified wealth and status. The men, many of whom are likely former students of the prestigious university, engage in animated conversations, their laughter and camaraderie adding warmth to the otherwise formal setting. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when formal dinners were an essential part of social gatherings. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Cambridge University and the Old Boys Association, and the enduring bonds of friendship and camaraderie that have been forged through the years.
