Captured by an anonymous 19th-century photographer, this image showcases the intense training sessions of rowing crews preparing for the renowned University Boat Race.

The determination etched on their faces is palpable as they navigate through Cookham and Marlow. The composition beautifully captures not only the physical exertion but also the camaraderie among these athletes. Each stroke propels them closer to their goal while showcasing their synchronized movements and unwavering teamwork.
