EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's engraving titled "L'Arrivee" which beautifully captures the essence of late Victorian England in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for Louis Enault's book "Londres" and published by Hachette in 1876. The image transports us to the iconic Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race on the River Thames in London. As rowers clad in their university colors vigorously paddle towards victory, spectators line the riverbanks with anticipation and excitement. Dore's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this historic event to life – from the grand architecture lining the riverside to the animated expressions on each face. This scene not only represents a significant sporting event but also serves as a window into British culture during that era. It reflects Great Britain's passion for competitive sports, its rich history of rowing traditions, and its enduring love affair with outdoor activities. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and capture moments that resonate across generations. Through Dore's masterful technique and Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving fine art prints like this one, we have an opportunity to appreciate both historical events and artistic brilliance simultaneously.
