EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in the world of athletics - the record-breaking long jump by C. B. Fry at Oxford and Cambridge Universities Athletic Sports. The image showcases Fry, a student from Wadham College, Oxford, as he defies gravity and soars through the air with remarkable grace and power. Measuring an astonishing 23 feet and 5 inches, this extraordinary leap solidified Fry's place in sporting history. His achievement not only brought glory to his college but also showcased the immense talent nurtured within these prestigious institutions. The finely detailed engraving allows us to appreciate every nuance of this incredible feat. We can almost feel the anticipation in the crowd as they watch Fry's athletic prowess unfold before their eyes. The energy is palpable, captured beautifully by the skilled hand of the English School artist who created this piece in the 19th century. Published in The Illustrated London News on April 16th, 1892, this illustration immortalizes a defining moment for both Wadham College and British sportsmanship as a whole. It serves as a testament to human potential and reminds us that greatness can be achieved through dedication, skill, and unwavering determination. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who witness it. It stands as an enduring symbol of triumph over physical limitations and celebrates our boundless capacity for athletic excellence.
