Election Saturday at Eton - Regatta and Fireworks, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and captivating photographic print from the 19th century, showcasing the lively celebrations that took place on the River Thames in Berkshire, England. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, depicts the brilliant finale of the Election Saturday Regatta at Eton, held on July 27. The regatta, a traditional rowing race, was a significant social event in the community, attracting large crowds of spectators. In the background of the print, the majestic Windsor Castle, a royal residence, stands proudly, its fortifications adding an air of grandeur to the scene. The River Thames, a vital geographical feature of the region, is bustling with activity, with rowing boats and other water transport vessels making their way through the estuary. The night sky is ablaze with the vibrant colors of a firework display, marking the end of the regatta celebrations. Men, dressed in their finest attire, are seen watching the spectacle, their expressions of awe and delight etched on their faces. The print, which is engraved and dates back to the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Britain during the 19th century. The combination of politics, sport, and celebration is a testament to the spirit of the times, and the image is a reminder of the significance of community gatherings and the power of the press to document and preserve such moments in history. The print, which is now part of the extensive collection at The Print Collector, continues to captivate and inspire, transporting us back in time to a bygone era.
