EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1866, capturing a thrilling moment during the Oxford and Cambridge athletic sports events. The focus of this image is the intense two-mile foot race at Qxford, where determined runners from both universities showcase their athleticism and competitive spirit. The scene unfolds in a picturesque meadow, enclosed by a sturdy wooden fence that separates the track from eager spectators. As we observe closely, we can see the exhaustion etched on the faces of these collegiate athletes as they push themselves to their limits. Every muscle strain and bead of sweat tells a story of dedication and perseverance. In this historic wood engraving, English craftsmanship brings life to every detail - from the meticulously drawn figures of runners in motion to the intricate lines defining each blade of grass on the track. The University flags proudly flutter in the background, representing both Oxford and Cambridge with honor. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of university culture. This image captures not only a mere foot race but also embodies camaraderie among competitors who strive for excellence while inspiring admiration among those witnessing their remarkable feats. This Granger Collection print transports us back over 150 years ago when running was more than just physical exertion; it was an embodiment of tradition, determination, and triumphs that still resonate today.
