EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of the last day of Henley Regatta in the 19th century. The image showcases a mass of boats, including elegant houseboats, dotting the river Thames as they eagerly await the distribution of prizes. A great crowd has gathered on both sides of the river to witness this momentous occasion. The photo reveals a scene where various watercrafts are partially obscured by one another, creating an intriguing visual effect. At intervals along the riverbank, we catch glimpses of crossed oars and occupants aboard these vessels. On the opposite side, a lady named Esther Smith can be seen presenting one of the coveted prizes to a victorious rowing team. In this snapshot, we see small boats navigating through the waters with skillful strokes reminiscent of Leander's venturesome spirit. Amongst them is a tugboat that serves as transportation for those involved in organizing this grand event. Captured by an English photographer from Bridgeman Images, this historic print offers us a glimpse into an era when Henley Regatta was at its peak popularity. It immortalizes not only moments filled with triumph and victory but also highlights how sport brought people together from all walks of life to celebrate their shared passion for rowing on England's iconic River Thames.
