EDITORS COMMENTS
The Boat Race, 1936 (colour litho) captures a moment of lightheartedness and camaraderie amidst the intense rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge universities. This vintage cigarette card, part of the Howlers series produced for Churchman's, showcases the humorous side of this prestigious sporting event. In this delightful print by Rene Bull, we see rowers from both teams battling it out on the River Thames. The vibrant colors bring to life the excitement and energy of the race. The dark blue team representing Oxford University is locked in a fierce competition with their light blue counterparts from Cambridge University. The rowers' determined expressions are juxtaposed with their comically exaggerated postures, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. It is as if they momentarily break free from their competitive spirits to indulge in some playful antics on their boats. This image not only celebrates athleticism but also highlights the lighter side of sportsmanship. It reminds us that even in high-stakes competitions like The Boat Race, there is room for laughter and good-natured fun. As a piece of vintage art, this print offers us a glimpse into an era gone by while capturing timeless themes such as teamwork, dedication, and friendly rivalry. Whether you're an avid sports enthusiast or simply appreciate historical artwork, 'The Boat Race' will surely bring joy and nostalgia to any collection.
