EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the excitement and elegance of a rowing match at Richmond in 1793. The scene is set on the picturesque River Thames, now part of Greater London, where boats glide gracefully through the water. The event was held as part of the celebrations for the Duke of Clarence's birthday, who would later become King William IV. In this snapshot from history, we see a diverse group of people gathered along the riverbank to witness this thrilling sport. Women are prominently featured among them, defying traditional gender roles and showcasing their love for adventure and competition. Flags flutter in the breeze, representing different countries and adding a touch of international flair to this British affair. The artist Robert Clevely skillfully portrays every detail with his watercolor brushstrokes. His use of color brings life to this 18th-century scene, capturing both its historical significance and its timeless beauty. This print is an exquisite example from "Life Among the English" by Rose Macaulay, published by Collins in 1942. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when rowing matches were not only sporting events but also grand social occasions. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about dates and facts; it is about real people coming together to celebrate life's joys on the banks of rivers like Thames at Richmond.
