[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1880s Shrimpton’s Academic Costumes of the Members of the University of 
Oxford

Shrimpton’s Series of the Costumes of the Members of the University of 
Oxford.

Not dated, probably 1880s.  A colorful and informative folding chart 
showing 24 Oxford University academics and officers in full collegiate 
regalia, ready for a stately stroll across the quad. Although Shrimpton 
was a publisher, the inside front cover includes a full-page 
advertisement for Frederick Evans & Co. of Oxford, “Robe makers, 
tailors, university and clerical outfitters - a large assortment of 
gowns, robes, and hoods, including those for higher degrees, always in 
stock. Presentation robes made to order”.

24-panel folding plate contained in illustrated card covers. Covers 
4”x6.25, light soil and wear. Plate unfolds to 30.5”x18”, minor soil, 
separation along many folds, and the plate is split into two separate 
pieces along one vertical fold. Other folds tender, and some split. 
Delicate to handle. [46380]  $150
