EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of men and women dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, gathered in the bustling marketplace of Cambridge, England in 1910. Among the guests, fourth from the left in the back row, is Cuthbert Gaseman, a proud attendee of Trinity College, Cambridge. The presence of women in the photograph, as well as the formal white tie evening attire worn by the men, suggests that this was a commemorative image taken to mark a grand ball or dinner at the esteemed university. Trinity College, one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in the University of Cambridge, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1546. Over the centuries, it has produced countless scholars, intellectuals, and leaders in various fields. This photograph offers a glimpse into the academic and social life of the college during the Edwardian era, a time of great change and progress. The marketplace of Cambridge, with its vibrant energy and diverse crowd, provides an intriguing backdrop to this formal gathering. The cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and lively atmosphere add to the sense of tradition and community that defines the university town. Cuthbert Gaseman's album, from which this photograph is taken, offers a valuable record of the past, allowing us to connect with the people and events of a bygone era. This image, with its timeless charm and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the rich history and enduring traditions of Cambridge University and its students.
