EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the 7th of March, 1923, witnessing a momentous occasion in rowing history. It captures Oxford University's inaugural appearance at Putney, an event that drew an immense crowd of spectators eager to witness this groundbreaking feat. The image showcases Ernest Barry, a renowned sculler of his time, skillfully steering the Oxford launch as it follows the Dark Blues. His presence adds an air of prestige and expertise to this historic day on the Thames. The monochrome tones beautifully emphasize the significance and timeless nature of this photograph. It serves as a window into Europe's past during the interwar period - a time when rowing was not only a sport but also symbolized camaraderie and national pride. This remarkable snapshot is courtesy of Central News and has been preserved by TopFoto for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but marvel at how far rowing has come since those early days at Putney.
