EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, showcases the Cambridge University crew during the annual Boat Race against their rivals from Oxford University. The crew member in the bow seat is identified as P.W. Brancker, representing Jesus College, Cambridge. The tradition of the Boat Race between these two prestigious British universities began in 1829, featuring all-male crews of students. The event takes place on the River Thames in London, with each team racing in open-weight eights. The first women's race was held in 1927, but this photograph captures the 19th century spirit of the competition. The engraved image offers a glimpse into the history of education and sport in Britain, with the intensity and focus of the rowers evident even in this static representation. The photograph is a testament to the enduring tradition and the passion it inspires among students and alumni of both universities.
