Henry Wood?. "The Cambridge Crew- Winter Training for the Boat Race." From The Graphic

London: The Graphic, February 15, 1879. 16 1/2 x 11. Wood engraving. Missing part of upper left hand corner. Otherwise very good condition.

The scene shows members of the Cambridge boat team ice skating as a means of training. 

This print is from the English illustrated newspaper The Graphic.  These newspapers, usually issued weekly in England and America, were made popular by the inclusion of wood engravings.  These publications, filled with current text and a multitude of illustrations, became extremely popular from their first appearance with the Illustrated London News in 1842.  This paper was followed in England by The Graphic in 1869.  This source provides us with many images of all parts of the world in the nineteenth century, most of which would not exist without these papers.  This is a fine example of the output of one of the two most successful papers in England; a visual feast for the eyes.
