Boating Coronation Crew Inset Oxford Photos Races Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Oxford University Boat Crew of 1911, also known as 'The Oxford Eight in Coronation Year.' The image was taken on the iconic River Thames during a time of great historical significance, as King George V and Queen Mary were set to be crowned in Westminster Abbey on June 22, 1911. The crew members, dressed in their distinctive dark blazers and light-colored shirts, proudly display their oars and rowing equipment. Their boat, adorned with the university crest, is positioned on the riverbank, ready for transport to the regatta. The Coronation Year was a time of excitement and anticipation for the British people, and the Oxford crew's preparations for the upcoming boat races added to the sense of national pride and celebration. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of rowing at Oxford University and the unique role it played in the cultural and social fabric of early 20th-century Britain. The inset photograph shows a closer view of the crew members, their faces filled with determination and focus. Their eyes are fixed on the camera, as if daring the viewer to challenge their commitment and dedication to their sport. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie that has long been associated with Oxford University's boat crews. This historic photograph is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Oxford University, rowing, or early 20th-century British history. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of tradition, excellence, and national pride.
