Smuggling In, or A College Trick, August 8,1810 - A Hilarious Glimpse into Academic Shenanigans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Heinrich Schutz titled "Smuggling In, or A College Trick" we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of a British university in the early 19th century. With his masterful use of etching and aquatint techniques, Schutz skillfully captures a comical scene that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The image depicts a group of mischievous students engaging in an audacious act of smuggling alcohol onto campus grounds under the cover of darkness. As they carefully lower bottles down from their dormitory window using ropes, one can't help but be amused by their daring ingenuity. The male and female students involved in this clandestine operation display both excitement and nervousness as they navigate through this risky endeavor. Schutz's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the artwork - from the architectural beauty of the university building itself to the expressions on each character's face. The lecturer inside remains oblivious to these antics unfolding just outside his lecture hall. This delightful satire not only showcases Rowlandson Thomas' wit but also sheds light on social customs and student life during that era. It serves as a reminder that even within academic institutions with strict rules and regulations, young minds find ways to challenge authority while seeking moments of levity amidst their studies.
