This print captures a historic moment in the early 20th century - the installation of Lord Curzon as Chancellor of Oxford University in 1907. The image showcases the grandeur and pageantry of the ceremony, with Lord Curzon dressed in traditional robes and wearing a mortar board, surrounded by pages and boys. The photograph provides a glimpse into Edwardian Britain, highlighting the significance of education and academia during that time period. Lord Curzon's inauguration is marked by an oration delivered in Latin, symbolizing the rich intellectual tradition of Oxford University. The setting for this momentous event is none other than the iconic Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford University. Its magnificent architecture serves as a backdrop to this historical occasion, adding to its grandeur. This image not only captures an important milestone in British history but also reflects on European culture at large. It reminds us of Germany's influence on Europe during this era, as evidenced by German photographers documenting such significant events across different countries. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era - one filled with tradition, ceremony, and academic excellence.
