This engraving captures the thrilling atmosphere of The Oxford and Cambridge University boat race, a historic event that has been celebrated for centuries. The scene is set at Hammersmith Bridge on a sunny Saturday in 1866, as rowing enthusiasts gather along the banks of the River Thames to witness this prestigious competition. The print showcases the intense rivalry between these two esteemed universities, with rowers from both teams exerting their utmost strength and determination. The oars slice through the water with precision, propelling the sleek boats forward amidst cheers from spectators lining the riverbanks. Hammersmith Bridge stands tall in the background, its elegant arches framing this exhilarating spectacle. A tugboat can be seen nearby, adding an element of bustling activity to this already vibrant scene.
