EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of a summer day at the Royal Regatta of Henley on Thames in England, circa 1880. Spectators line the banks, enjoying a leisurely picnic as they watch the rowing competition unfold on the river.
The scene is straight out of a 19th-century illustration, with men and women dressed in their finest attire, gathered together to witness this prestigious event. The engraving on wood color adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to a time when such regattas were grand social affairs.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the sounds of oars slicing through water and feel the excitement in the air. The crowd is alive with anticipation and camaraderie as they cheer on their favorite teams.
In amidst all this revelry, there is also a poignant reminder of societal disparities - a beggar or tramp holding out his handkerchief for alms among the well-to-do spectators. This juxtaposition serves as a sobering contrast to the opulence surrounding him.
Overall, this print encapsulates both the beauty and complexity of life in 19th-century England. It is a timeless piece that invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating the simple joys of summer picnics by the riverbank.
