This photograph captures the Oxford University rowing crew, victorious champions of the 24th Boat Race against Cambridge University on the 13th of April, 1867. The crew, composed of W.P. Bowman, J.H. Fish, Es Carter, W.W. Wood, J.C. Tinne, F. Crowder, F. Willan (boat club president), R.G. Marsden, and C.R.W. Tottenham (cox), proudly display their hard-earned victory with half a length lead over their rivals. The scene unfolds before the iconic steps and gothic buildings of Oxford University, with the crew members dressed in their formal rowing attire and donning bowler hats.
