EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the University Boat Race at Barnes, London during the Victorian period. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of elegance and tradition. The University Boat Race is a much-anticipated annual event held on the River Thames between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In this image, we see the crews in their traditional rowing attire, poised and ready for the race. The boats glide smoothly through the calm waters, with the picturesque backdrop of Barnes, London, and Richmond, England, reflecting in the mirror-like surface. The Victorian period, known for its ornate details and intricate designs, is beautifully represented in this photograph. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during this time, adds to the nostalgic feel. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, is also evident in the early 20th-century clothing and equipment. The University Boat Race holds a rich history, with the first recorded race taking place in 1829. This photograph is a testament to the enduring tradition and the timeless beauty of this event. The image invites us to imagine the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the race during this period, making it a must-have for any collection of historical photographs or those with an interest in rowing, London history, or the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
