"The Ceremony Of The Procession Ad Montem As Performed By The Students of Eton College" is a notable painting by the English artist James Pollard. Created in the 19th century, this artwork captures the vibrant and historical tradition of the "Eton Montem," a ceremonial event held by the students of Eton College. Eton Montem was a triennial event that dated back to the 16th century and continued until its abolition in 1847. The ceremony involved a procession to a hill, known as Salt Hill, near the town of Slough, where students would collect money, referred to as "salt," from spectators. This money was traditionally used to support the education of a scholar at King's College, Cambridge.

James Pollard, renowned for his detailed and dynamic depictions of coaching and sporting scenes, brings this historic event to life through his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color. The painting illustrates the grandeur and pageantry of the procession, featuring students in elaborate costumes, military bands, and a lively crowd of onlookers. Pollard's work not only serves as a visual record of the Eton Montem but also reflects the social and cultural milieu of the time.

The painting is celebrated for its historical significance and artistic merit, offering a window into the traditions of one of England's most prestigious educational institutions. Through his work, Pollard provides a glimpse into the past, preserving the memory of a unique and colorful tradition that was an integral part of Eton College's heritage. The artwork remains an important piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of British education and traditions.
