Testimonial to the Bishop of Tasmania from the students of the Normal College, Cheltenham, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Testimonial to the Bishop of Tasmania from the students of the Normal College, Cheltenham, 1864. '...a piece of plate which was presented to Dr. Bromby...by the students and former students of the Church of England Normal Training College at Cheltenham, and of St. Mary's Hall, the Female Training College, over which institutions he had presided for many years. It was manufactured by Messrs. Bernard and Son, of London, and consisted of an elegant epergne made of massive silver, the design of which may be thus described: From the base rise two lofty palm-trees, stretching their drooping leaves (wrought in frosted silver), on the summit of which rest a crystal bowl, the latter being for the occasion filled with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. At the foot of the trees rest a camel and two Arabs. The base is worked with the leaves of the water-lily on burnished ground...around the base is the following: "Presented in token of their affectionate regard for one who was their pastor, tutor, and friend." Accompanying the epergne, an elaborate silver sugar-basket, a cream- ewer, and one dozen massive silver teaspoons were presented to his Lordship'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a truly heartfelt gesture from the students of the Normal College in Cheltenham to the Bishop of Tasmania in 1864. The piece of plate presented to Dr. Bromby is a true work of art, crafted by Messrs. Bernard and Son in London.
The design of the epergne is intricate and elegant, featuring two palm trees with frosted silver leaves reaching towards a crystal bowl filled with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. At the base, a camel and two Arabs rest, symbolizing unity and friendship. The attention to detail is remarkable, with water-lily leaves adorning the burnished ground around the base.
Accompanying this exquisite centerpiece are additional silver pieces including a sugar-basket, cream-ewer, and twelve teaspoons - all symbols of appreciation for their beloved pastor, tutor, and friend.
This image serves as a testament to the deep affection and gratitude felt by the students towards Dr. Bromby for his years of dedicated service at both institutions he presided over. It is a reminder of the importance of education, mentorship, and camaraderie within academic communities throughout history.
