EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a thrilling sculling match that took place on the picturesque Parramatta River in Sydney, Australia, on February 7,1885. The intense competition unfolded between two skilled rowers, Clifford and Hanlan, against the backdrop of an intermediate tide. As spectators lined the riverbanks, their excitement filled the air. The Parramatta River is a stunning waterway located in New South Wales and flows through a drowned valley estuary. This engraving from 1885 beautifully illustrates this historic event with its intricate engravement technique typical of Victorian arts and culture. In this image frozen in time, we witness the determination etched on both competitors' faces as they navigate their sleek sculls through the challenging waters. The retro style adds to its charm and transports us back to the elegance of 19th-century sporting events. While one can only imagine who emerged victorious from this gripping race, it's clear that both athletes displayed remarkable skill and strength. This print serves as a testament to their dedication and showcases an important moment in Australian sporting history. As part of Liszt Collection's vast archive of historical prints, this engraving offers a glimpse into our rich past while celebrating the artistry involved in capturing such moments for posterity.
