EDITORS COMMENTS
The Universities Boat-Race (engraving) captures the thrilling and competitive spirit of one of England's most iconic sporting events. This 19th-century engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, depicts the Cambridge Crew rowing their way to victory in this historic race. The scene is filled with energy as the rowers propel their sleek boat through the water with precision and strength. Each member of the crew is captured in meticulous detail, showcasing their determination and teamwork. From stroke to bow, these athletes from Trinity Hall, Trinity, Magdalen, Jesus, Pembroke, St John's universities display their skill and athleticism. The composition beautifully portrays the intensity of the race; spectators line up along both sides of the riverbank cheering on their respective teams. The coxswain can be seen guiding his team with unwavering focus while Christ Church looms majestically in the background. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 9th, 1881. It serves as a testament to not only a significant moment in sporting history but also as a celebration of camaraderie and dedication within university communities. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection allows us to appreciate this historical artwork that encapsulates both artistry and athleticism.
