EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exhilarating moment of Oxford's surprise victory during the 1909 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race. The annual event, which began in 1829, is a cherished tradition between the two prestigious universities, each represented by their respective rowing clubs. The scene unfolds at Barnes Bridge and Mortlake, with an elated crowd of spectators witnessing the dramatic turn of events. Oxford's boats, powered by their skilled rowers, pull far ahead, leaving Cambridge utterly rowed out at the end of the race. The determination and grit displayed by the Oxford team that day is evident in their triumphant posture, as they celebrate their hard-earned victory on the Thames. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring spirit of the Boat Race, which has been held annually since 1856.
