This engraving transports us back to the prestigious Henley Regatta of 1876. The print, created by renowned artist Harry Furniss, captures the essence of this iconic sporting event in all its glory. The scene depicts a thrilling moment during the race as rowers compete for victory in various categories. The Wins Diamond Challenge Sculls, one of the most coveted prizes at Henley Regatta, takes center stage. Spectators eagerly watch as skilled oarsmen from Thames Rowing Club battle it out on the River Thames. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every stroke of Furniss's engraving technique brings life and movement to each figure and boat depicted. From the determined expressions on the rowers' faces to their synchronized movements, we can almost feel their intense focus and determination.
