The scene is alive with energy as rowers glide through the River Thames, their oars slicing through the water with precision and power. The focal point of this vibrant print is undoubtedly the magnificent Red House, standing proudly on the riverbank. Its red brick facade stands out against the serene blue waters, serving as a backdrop to this thrilling sporting event. The atmosphere is electric as spectators line the riverbanks, cheering on their favorite teams and soaking up every moment of this exhilarating competition. Rowing was not merely a sport but a way of life during this era. It symbolized strength, camaraderie, and determination.
