EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the thrilling University Boat Race of yesteryear. The image captures a moment charged with anticipation as the rowers arrive at the river Thames, ready to embark on this prestigious contest. The early morning mist adds an air of mystery, heightening the excitement surrounding this historic event. The scene is bustling with activity: spectators gather along the banks, eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite teams; toll gates stand tall in the background, marking the beginning of this epic race. Hammersmith Bridge looms ahead, serving as both a landmark and a symbol of what lies ahead for these determined athletes. Intriguingly, we witness a playful tradition being upheld – rowers are seen tossing one another into the water near Putney station. This lighthearted moment serves as a reminder that even amidst fierce competition, camaraderie and sportsmanship prevail. As we delve deeper into this engraving's details, it becomes clear that it encapsulates not only last year's contest but also echoes decades of history and tradition associated with this iconic race. It transports us back in time to an era when such events were eagerly anticipated by all who had witnessed them before. Through its intricate lines and meticulous shading, this print from Bridgeman Images invites us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory.
