Cambridge Final Oxford Practice Prior Rowing Session
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the Cambridge University Boat Club's final practice session on the River Cam before the highly anticipated Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race of 1890. The image, dated December 7, 1890, showcases the Cambridge eight in their prime, focused and determined as they glide effortlessly through the tranquil waters. The team's unity and synchrony are evident as they row in perfect harmony, their oars slicing through the surface with precision. The River Cam, a historic venue for rowing competitions, sets the stage for this momentous occasion. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and picturesque buildings, adds to the idyllic scene. The engraving, produced by ILN, provides a glimpse into the rich history of rowing in England and the intense rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge universities. The Boat Race, an annual tradition since 1829, is a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie between the two prestigious institutions. This photograph, taken during the final practice session before the race, offers a unique perspective on the preparations and dedication required to participate in such a renowned event. As the teams gear up for the big day, the tension in the air is palpable. The outcome of the race remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure - the Cambridge eight is ready to give it their all. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of rowing in England and the unwavering commitment of the athletes who continue to push themselves to new heights on the River Cam.
