EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous ceremony held by the Council of the University of Paris in the 1920s. The distinguished event was organized to bestow the prestigious degree of Doctor honoris causa upon two eminent figures, poet and author Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Sir James G. Frazer, renowned for his work on "The Golden Bough". At the center of this historic snapshot stands Mr. Kipling himself, radiating an aura of intellectual prowess and literary brilliance. His presence is complemented by Sir James G. Frazer, whose scholarly contributions have left an indelible mark on academia. To their right stands Monsieur Appell, the esteemed Recteur of Sorbonne University where this grandiose ceremony unfolded with utmost elegance and splendor. Dressed impeccably in formal attire befitting such a significant occasion, Monsieur Appell exudes authority as he oversees proceedings. The date etched into history alongside this remarkable image is November 18th, 1921 – a day that forever commemorates these exceptional individuals' recognition as honorary doctors at one of France's most esteemed institutions. As we gaze upon this timeless print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era when education was celebrated with great reverence and poets were revered as luminaries in society. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of these extraordinary men but also highlights the enduring power literature holds within our cultural fabric.
