The Eights from Folly Bridge
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print that transports viewers to the picturesque city of Oxford in the early 20th century. This image, captured by an anonymous English artist, showcases the timeless beauty of one of Oxford's iconic landmarks. The focal point of the print is Folly Bridge, a pedestrian bridge that elegantly spans over the tranquil waters of River Thames. The bridge itself is depicted with remarkable detail, showcasing its architectural grandeur and craftsmanship. Whether it be the sturdy stone pillars or the intricate wooden planks, every element exudes a sense of history and charm. In this scene, we witness rowing eights gliding gracefully beneath Folly Bridge. These rowers are partaking in one of Oxford University's most beloved traditions - competing against rival colleges in thrilling boat races known as "Eights Week". Their synchronized movements on the water create a mesmerizing spectacle that epitomizes teamwork and determination. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Andrew Lang's book "Oxford" published in 1906. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual tribute to this esteemed university town. With its impeccable attention to detail and evocative portrayal of Oxford's rich heritage, "The Eights from Folly Bridge" invites us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era where academia meets athleticism amidst stunning scenery.
