Costumed boys, families, soldiers and dogs gather beneath monumental elms, with College buildings glimpsed beyond. William Evans of Eton, the school’s drawing master, designed the scene; Charles George Lewis engraved it and Joseph Hogarth published the plate in London on 1 June 1852. One of a celebrated pair issued after Montem’s abolition, this appears to be the desirable open-letter proof state. A vivid and scarce record of nineteenth-century Eton pageantry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53843356516699,"sku":"P-9-001070","price":580.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001070a.jpg?v=1787236464","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/playing-fields-during-the-eton-montem-large-hand-coloured-print-evans-lewis-1852-p-9-001070","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
