EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, showcases the Oxford University Boat Club crew, led by stroke Thomas Charles Edwardes-Moss of Brasenose. The image immortalizes the tradition-rich atmosphere of the annual Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities, which began in 1829. The crews, composed entirely of male students, raced open-weight eights on the River Thames in London.

Edwardes-Moss, with his intense gaze and determined posture, embodies the spirit of the Boat Race, making this an essential piece for any collection focusing on the history of education, sports, and the press in Britain. The photograph, from the esteemed archive of The Print Collector, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the rich history of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. The image's timeless appeal and historical significance make it an essential addition to any art, education, or sports-focused collection.
