Step into the grandeur of the dining hall, where history and tradition intertwine. An oil painting of Prince Philip, an esteemed alumnus of our school, gazes down upon us, a reminder of the legacy we carry forward. Dormitories and Dining Hall at Princeton University in New Jersey transport us back to 1922, a time when this hallowed institution was bustling with youthful energy. From courtly life during Emperor Frederick I's reign to a princely dining party captured in an illuminated manuscript from Lustgarten, Germany; these glimpses into the past paint a vivid picture of opulence and refinement. Reichardt Kakaowerk's mens dining room in Hamburg offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century German culture through a postcard that has stood the test of time. Travel further back in time to Ancient Rome, where Nero's Golden House housed extravagant triclinia - dining halls fit for emperors. The remains of these halls now stand as reminders of Rome's glorious past. In contrast, a humble canteen from 1932 reminds us that not all meals are served amidst luxury but can be simple yet nourishing. The Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) gathers annually for their dinner in 1965 - comradeship forged over shared meals and camaraderie. Similarly, London celebrated King Edward VII's coronation by hosting a dinner for the less fortunate in 1902 - reminding us that food brings people together across social divides. Plate G takes us on an artistic journey depicting Emperor Maximilian II's election and coronation feast in 1612 - capturing both regal splendor and political significance. Meanwhile, Roma's Palazzo del Quirinale reveals its magnificent Sala da pranzo or dining room through an evocative black-and-white photograph. Lastly, Grays Inn Hall stands proud against London’s skyline since 1885 – a testament to the enduring presence of communal dining spaces throughout history.
