Cambridge Sunset University 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1907, showcases the picturesque University Boat-houses along the banks of the River Cam in Cambridge, England, bathed in the soft glow of a setting sun. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of rowing at the prestigious University of Cambridge. The Boat-houses, a collection of elegant structures with distinctive red-brick facades, have been a part of the Cambridge landscape for over a century. They have housed generations of student rowers, who have trained on the River Cam and represented the university in various regattas and competitions. The River Cam, a significant waterway in Cambridge, has been a popular venue for rowing since the 18th century. The university's Boat Club was established in 1827, and the first recorded boat race between Cambridge and Oxford universities took place in 1829. Since then, the annual Boat Race between the two universities has become a cherished tradition and a significant event in the British sporting calendar. This photograph, taken at sunset, adds an ethereal quality to the scene. The reflection of the setting sun on the calm waters of the River Cam creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere, while the long shadows cast by the Boat-houses add depth and texture to the image. The photograph captures the essence of Cambridge's unique blend of history, tradition, and natural beauty. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of rowing at the University of Cambridge and the significance of the River Cam in the lives of its students. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped this esteemed institution and continue to inspire generations of students and alumni.
