EDITORS COMMENTS
The University Boat Race, the Finish, as Seen from Ship, Mortlake (litho) captures the exhilarating climax of one of England's most prestigious sporting events. This lithograph by Henry Marriott Paget takes us back to April 6th, 1901, when The Graphic magazine published this illustration. The scene unfolds on the River Thames at Mortlake, where two rival university crews battle it out for victory. From a ship's vantage point, we witness the intense final moments of this thrilling boat race. The skill and determination of these rowers are evident in their synchronized strokes as they push themselves to their physical limits. As our eyes follow the racing boats slicing through the water with precision and grace, we can almost feel the energy emanating from both crew members and spectators alike. Crowds line the riverbanks eagerly cheering on their respective teams. Their animated expressions reflect a mix of anticipation and pride. Paget's meticulous attention to detail is showcased in his intricate engraving technique that brings every element to life - from billowing sails on distant ships to architectural landmarks dotting London's skyline in the background. This historic print not only immortalizes an iconic moment in British sporting history but also serves as a testament to human resilience and camaraderie found within competitive sports. It reminds us that even over a century later, The University Boat Race continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless spirit.
