EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, showcases the third rower, W.B. Close, of the Cambridge University Boat Club during the annual Boat Race against Oxford University. The tradition of this prestigious rowing race began in 1829, featuring open-weight eights competing on the River Thames in London. The image captures the intensity and focus of Close as he rows, embodying the spirit of competition and academic rivalry between the two esteemed universities. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of rowing in Britain and the enduring tradition of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. The image is a valuable piece of 19th-century art and journalism, providing a glimpse into the past and the lives of the students who participated in this iconic event. With the first women's race not held until 1927, this photograph represents a significant moment in the all-male history of the Boat Race.
