EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race in London, during the years 1926-1927. As the rowing teams approach Hammersmith Bridge, Oxford takes a slight lead over their rivals from Cambridge. The iconic race, steeped in tradition, unfolds along the picturesque River Thames, commencing at Putney and culminating at Mortlake. Spanning a challenging course of 4 miles and 374 yards (6,779 meters), this annual event showcases the strength and determination of these university athletes. The image is brought to life through colorization techniques applied to an original print featured in Wonderful London - volume I. Edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, this illustration transports us back to a vibrant era of transport, city life, and sporting excellence. Amidst the bustling river scene are glimpses of spectators lining the banks as they cheer on their respective teams. This snapshot encapsulates not only a historic sporting moment but also reflects elements of British culture during that time period. With its vivid colors highlighting every detail – from oars slicing through water to determined expressions etched on each rower's face – this colorised print breathes new life into an already remarkable piece of history. It serves as a testament to both human achievement and our enduring fascination with competitive sports throughout centuries past.
