EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in sporting history - the first University Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge in 1829. The image showcases the very boat used by Oxford University when they emerged victorious, marking their triumph over their long-standing rivals. The boat, proudly displayed against a backdrop of Balliol College, exudes an air of elegance and tradition. Its sleek design is complemented by the rowers' synchronized movements as they propel it forward with their oars cutting through the water's surface. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to witness the intense physical exertion required for this demanding sport. Transportation plays a crucial role in this historic event, as depicted by the presence of a tugboat nearby. It serves as both support and symbolizes the determination to conquer challenges faced during such races. Captured by an English photographer from the 20th century, this print holds immense historical value and is now part of a private collection. Originally published in The Stock Exchange Christmas Annual 1913-1914, it continues to be cherished for its depiction of one of England's most iconic sporting events. Through this photograph, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1829 when Oxford claimed victory over Cambridge for the first time ever - forever etching their names into sports history books.
