EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the Henley Regatta takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of a prestigious rowing event that has stood the test of time. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 24,1897. The photograph showcases the intense competition between boats as they glide along the River Thames in Henley-on-Thames. Trinity Hall, Christ Church, New College, Emmanuel College, Eton, King's College - these renowned institutions are represented here with their teams battling it out for victory. The determination etched on each rower's face speaks volumes about their commitment to beating record times and achieving glory. The grand challenge cup and ladies challenge plate finals are particularly highlighted in this snapshot. As spectators line up along the riverbank to witness this thrilling spectacle unfold before them, one can almost feel the excitement permeating through every inch of this historic event. Transported back to a time when boating was not only a sport but also an art form mastered by skilled athletes from Oxford and Cambridge universities alike, we find ourselves immersed in both nostalgia and admiration for these remarkable individuals who pushed themselves beyond limits for their respective colleges. Bridgeman Images has done justice to preserving this timeless moment through fine art photography. This print serves as a testament to human perseverance and camaraderie that continues to define regattas even today.
