EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the esteemed pages of the Illustrated London News in 1876, showcases the Cambridge University Crew during the annual Boat Race against their rivals from Oxford University. The crew member in focus is H.E. Rhodes, representing Jesus College, Cambridge. The Boat Race, an age-old tradition that began in 1829, pits open-weight eights from both universities against each other on the River Thames in London. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of this iconic British sporting event. The Boat Race is a time-honored tradition that has seen all-male crews compete for supremacy since its inception.
