This photo print, titled "Boat race on the Grand Canal, Venice" captures a moment frozen in time during an official demonstration in the early 1920s.

The grandeur of Venice's hydraulic structure and architectural marvels is beautifully reflected in this photograph. The majestic buildings lining the canal create a stunning backdrop for the lively scene unfolding on its shimmering waters. A crowd has gathered along the canal banks, eagerly watching as gondolas glide through the water with remarkable speed and precision. Transportation by water has always been an integral part of Venetian life, and this picture perfectly encapsulates that aspect. The oarsmen skillfully maneuver their boats, propelling them forward with synchronized strokes while showcasing their strength and agility.
