EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the excitement and historical significance of the Oxford versus Cambridge Boat Race held on 26th March 1949. The annual competition between these two prestigious universities, held on the Thames River between Putney and Mortlake, is a cherished tradition in British sporting history. In this image, the Cambridge crew, dressed in their distinctive light blue blazers and boating caps, are seen celebrating their victory over Oxford, who are clad in dark blue attire. The winning margin was a narrow but decisive quarter of a length, making this victory all the more sweet for the Cambridge team. The Boat Race, first held in 1829, is steeped in tradition and history. The event attracts thousands of spectators each year, both in person and through media coverage. The race is not only a testament to the athletic prowess of the rowers but also a symbol of the friendly yet fierce rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge. Transportation on the Thames is an integral part of the Boat Race experience. In this photograph, we see the official launch transporting the crews and officials to the starting point at Putney. The traditional rowing boats, known as 'coxed fours,' glide gracefully through the water, leaving a trail of ripples in their wake. This photograph is an official souvenir from the 1949 Oxford versus Cambridge Boat Race, a testament to the rich history and enduring tradition of this iconic event. It serves as a reminder of the camaraderie, competition, and spirit that define the Boat Race and the universities it represents.
