EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the exhilarating atmosphere of one of England's most iconic sporting events. This print showcases an engraving by Bourguignon, based on Gustave Dore's original artwork, and was published in 1872. The image transports us to the banks of the River Thames where a thrilling rowing race between Oxford and Cambridge universities is taking place. The scene is filled with anticipation as a vast crowd gathers along the riverbank to witness this historic event. Spectators line up shoulder-to-shoulder, their faces alive with excitement and enthusiasm. In the foreground, we see two sleek racing boats gliding through the water with remarkable speed and precision. Each crew member exerts immense physical effort as they propel their oars through the river's currents. The determination etched on their faces reflects their unwavering commitment to victory. As we gaze upon this first edition print, it becomes evident that "The Race" not only highlights a fierce competition but also symbolizes tradition and camaraderie among these esteemed academic institutions. The rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge has endured for centuries, making this annual contest an integral part of British culture. This extraordinary piece of art captures both the energy of sport and its ability to unite people from all walks of life in celebration. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in our modern world, certain traditions continue to inspire awe and captivate our collective imagination.
