EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the excitement and controversy of the 1877 Oxford vs. Cambridge Boat Race at Barnes, a tradition that began in 1829 and is considered one of the oldest inter-university sporting events in the world. The image, titled "Danger Ahead" on the left and "At Barnes Race which had a controversial dead heat finish" on the right, showcases the intense competition between the two prestigious English universities. The photograph on the left, taken from the perspective of a spectator on the bank, depicts the Oxford crew in the foreground, rowing determinedly towards the finish line. The oars of the Oxford boat slice through the water, creating a wake that warns of their imminent approach. The Cambridge crew, just out of frame to the right, is not visible in this image, but their presence is implied by the tension in the Oxford team's expressions and posture. The photograph on the right, taken from a different angle, shows the Cambridge crew in the lead, with the Oxford boat hot on their heels. The two crews are so close that their boats are almost touching, and the umpire, dressed in a distinctive red coat, is seen raising his arms to signal a dead heat finish. This outcome was controversial, as both crews believed they had crossed the finish line first. The dispute led to a re-rowing of the final 1,000 yards, which Oxford won, making the 1877 race one of the most memorable in the history of the Boat Race. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Oxford vs. Cambridge Boat Race, which continues to captivate audiences and inspire fierce competition between the two universities to this day.
