EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print from the late 19th century, we are transported back to the bustling banks of the River Thames during a momentous event - the Oxford and Cambridge boat race. The focal point of this enchanting scene is a poised lady, elegantly perched on a river steamer, her eyes fixed intently on the rowing competition unfolding before her. Dressed in fashionable attire befitting the era, she dons an exquisite hat adorned with feathers and wears gloves that speak of refinement. With binoculars in hand and spectacles resting delicately on her nose, she epitomizes both beauty and intellect as she immerses herself in this thrilling spectacle. The atmosphere is electric as flags flutter proudly atop university boats gliding through the water with remarkable speed. Spectators line both sides of the riverbank, their excitement palpable as they cheer for their respective teams. A tugboat chugs alongside them, ensuring fair play under the watchful eye of an umpire. This image captures not only a sporting event but also a snapshot of society at large - where transport by steamers was still prevalent and women were increasingly participating in public events. It serves as a testament to how sports can unite people from all walks of life while showcasing their competitive spirit. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we cannot help but feel drawn into its vibrant world; it invites us to witness history unfold before our very eyes.
