EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pembroke Torpid, 1893" takes us back in time to the prestigious Oxford University in the late 19th century. The image captures a group of determined young men, members of Pembroke College's rowing team, standing proudly on the riverbank. The historical significance of this photo is evident as it showcases the camaraderie and dedication that defined university life during this era. These undergraduates represent a generation of students who embraced both academics and sports with equal enthusiasm. The composition beautifully highlights each individual's unique character and determination. From L. J. Morison to H. L. Shaw, T. Slator to R. C. Hawkin - these names may be unfamiliar to us now but were undoubtedly well-known figures within their college community at that time. Photographed by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, this print has found its place in a private collection where it continues to preserve an important piece of history for future generations. With its timeless appeal and rich details captured through photography by MZPhoto (not affiliated with any company), this image serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of sportsmanship and academic excellence that has long been associated with Oxford University. Whether you are fascinated by university history or simply appreciate fine art photography, "Pembroke Torpid, 1893" offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with tradition, teamwork, and youthful ambition.
