EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Henley Course" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of boating and rowing. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration for the book "Boating" by W. B. Woodgate. Published in 1888, this work features numerous engravings after Frank Dadd and photographs. The image transports us to Henley Course, a renowned location for rowing enthusiasts during that era. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it brings alive the Victorian charm and elegance associated with this popular sport. In this scene, we see various types of boats gracefully gliding along the river's surface. A majestic tugboat stands out among them as it navigates through the waters with precision and power. The composition not only captures the essence of transport but also highlights the importance of exercise and physical activity during that time. The print offers more than just visual appeal; it serves as a historical document showcasing how boating was enjoyed in centuries past. It provides valuable insights into rowing techniques, mapping out Henley Course for all aspiring rowers to study. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their extensive collection at Fine Art Finder. As we admire this artwork today, let us appreciate its ability to connect us with our sporting heritage while reminding us of simpler times on tranquil rivers like Henley Course.
