EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 4: A Humorous Take on the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race by Phyllis Kermode, 1925 In this delightful caricature illustration by Phyllis Kermode, we find ourselves amidst the excitement and anticipation of the annual Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race in 1925. The scene unfolds at Putney Bridge and Mortlake, where thousands of spectators eagerly await the much-contested nautical event. Kermode's satirical eye captures the essence of the rival crews' preparations, as she playfully pokes fun at two members of the teams. With a witty quip, she quips, "Your bags aren't baggy enough!" and "Your shorts aren't short enough!" The oxford and cambridge university rowers are shown in their formal rowing attire, their faces expressing a mix of determination and amusement as they respond to the artist's teasing remarks. The 1920s were a time of great change and excitement, and the Boat Race was no exception. This period marked the height of the event's popularity, with thousands flocking to the banks of the Thames to witness the spectacle. Phyllis Kermode's illustration encapsulates the spirit of the era, offering a humorous and lighthearted take on the intense competition between the two prestigious universities. The illustration, with its charming details and clever use of humor, invites us to appreciate the human side of the Boat Race, reminding us that beneath the surface of this historic event lies a rich tapestry of camaraderie, tradition, and good-natured banter.
