EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Cambridge Boat Crew of 1930, on their inaugural outing on the River Thames at Henley, Surrey, England. The image, taken in the spring of 1930, documents a pivotal moment in the history of the prestigious Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race. The crew, dressed in their distinctive dark blue blazers and boating shoes, are seen loading their boat onto a transport vehicle, ready for the journey to Henley-on-Thames. The anticipation and excitement are palpable as they prepare for the upcoming race, which they went on to win that year. The Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race is a highly-anticipated annual event that dates back to 1829. The competition takes place on the River Thames, with the starting point at Putney in London and the finish line at Henley-on-Thames. The race is steeped in tradition and history, attracting international attention and drawing large crowds every year. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the era of black-and-white photography. The crew members, with their focused expressions and determined body language, embody the spirit of competition and camaraderie that has long been associated with the Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring appeal of rowing, a sport that continues to captivate audiences and inspire athletes around the world.
