EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the 8-oar shell race between Harvard and Cambridge Universities on the Charles River in Massachusetts, USA, in the year 1906. Taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the image depicts the crews of both teams in their final preparations before departing from the riverbank. The men, dressed in their respective colors and focused on their task, are poised to paddle their boats with determination and skill. The boats, with their long oars extended, cut through the water, ready to engage in a fierce competition. The historic scene, set against the backdrop of the picturesque river and the vibrant autumn foliage, is a testament to the rich educational and athletic heritage of these prestigious institutions. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable document of a bygone era, capturing the essence of a time when tradition, competition, and camaraderie were at the heart of American university life.
