EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the intense moment of the finish line at The Oxford and Cambridge Athletic Sports held at Queens Club on 29 March. The focus is on the Quarter-Mile Race, where athletes from prestigious institutions such as Lincoln College, Magdalen College, Trinity College, Christs College, and more compete for victory. The artist Allan Stewart masterfully depicts the raw energy and determination etched across the faces of these young runners. Their bodies are frozen in mid-stride as they push themselves to their physical limits. Spectators eagerly watch from behind a fence, their expressions reflecting a mix of anticipation and awe. The scene is filled with an electric atmosphere that transcends time. It transports us back to April 6th, 1901 when this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. Stewart's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the meticulously rendered track surface to each individual spectator dotting the background. As we gaze upon this historical print now preserved in a private collection, we can almost hear the thunderous cheers erupting from those present that day. It serves as a testament not only to athleticism but also camaraderie among students representing their respective universities. This engraving by Allan Stewart immortalizes a fleeting moment of triumph and competition within British sports history – reminding us of both our shared heritage and enduring passion for athletic excellence.
