EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and dedication of the Oxford and Cambridge rowing teams as they prepare for the highly anticipated 1897 Boat Race. The image, titled "The Crews at Practice," showcases the crews in their traditional rowing attire, intently focused on their training as they glide effortlessly through the tranquil waters of the River Thames. The Boat Race is a centuries-old tradition between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, with the first recorded race taking place in 1829. The event has since become a symbol of rivalry and camaraderie between the two prestigious institutions. In this photograph, taken by an unknown photographer in December 1896, the Oxford team is seen practicing in their boat, the 'Isis,' named after the ancient Greek goddess of the Thames. The team members, dressed in their distinctive dark blue blazers and white shirts, work in perfect harmony as they row in unison, their powerful strokes propelling the boat forward. The Cambridge team, clad in their light blue blazers and white shirts, are seen practicing in the background, their boat, the 'Grace,' named after the Cambridge University's motto, 'Veni, Vidi, Vici,' or 'I came, I saw, I conquered.' The crews' determination and focus are palpable, as they hone their skills in preparation for the upcoming race. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of the Boat Race and the dedication of the crews, who have made this tradition a cherished part of the universities' rich heritage. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie that defines the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
