Abstract

"Two Fellows in cap and gown (l.), walking l. to r. under a stone arcade, see with shocked disapproval a dismayed undergraduate emerging from a door giving on to the arcade. He is slim and fashionably dressed. Another undergraduate (r.) with gold-embroidered gown, and the gold tassel denoting a peer, walking r. to left. along the arcade, watches the encounter with amused delight."--British Museum online catalogue
