The competition took place between Putney and Mortlake, two historic rowing locations along the Thames. The photo showcases the elegance and skill of the rowers as they power their boats through the water, their determined expressions reflecting their focus on the race. The event was a significant moment in the history of intercollegiate athletics, showcasing the international spirit of friendly competition and academic rivalry.
