EDITORS COMMENTS
The Oxford Crew, Winners in the University Boat-Race (engraving) captures a historic moment in British sports history. This 19th-century engraving, part of a private collection, showcases the triumphant Oxford crew after their victory in the prestigious University Boat Race. The image transports us back to April 22,1865 when The Illustrated London News published this illustration. The rowers are depicted with remarkable detail and precision, showcasing their determination and strength as they proudly hold their oars. The brown hues of the print give it an antique charm, while also highlighting the wooden materials used for both the boat and oars. Firwood timber is visible in every stroke captured by the skilled English School artist. Amongst these victorious athletes are notable names such as Schneider, Tottenham, Senhouse, Morrison, Raikes - each contributing to Oxford's triumph on that fateful day. Their teamwork and dedication shine through this timeless artwork. This engraving not only celebrates sporting achievement but also serves as a testament to tradition and camaraderie within university athletics. It reminds us of the enduring legacy of one of Britain's oldest sporting events – The University Boat Race. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection so that we may continue to appreciate its historical significance today.
