EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the lively scene of the Regatta at Chelsea, an annual rowing competition held on the River Thames between Chelsea and Battersea, circa 1815. The fashionable crowd of Regency-era spectators, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly watch the competition unfold from the banks of the river. In the foreground, a rowing crew prepares to launch their boat, while in the background, a Royal Hospital and the distinctive Doggett's Coat and Badge can be seen. The Royal Hospital, a charitable institution founded by Charles II, provided care for soldiers and sailors, while Doggett's Coat and Badge is an historic rowing race that still takes place on the Thames today. Transportation during this period was primarily by water, making the Thames a hub of activity. Steamer boats and other vessels can be seen in the background, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The Regatta at Chelsea was a popular social event, attracting the fashionable elite of London society. The print captures the excitement and elegance of the occasion, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of rowing on the River Thames.
