| Description |
English: The (cropped) picture shows part of the earliest-known scene of a race between two eight-oared boats at Oxford University. It has been suggested that the picture shows the "disputed bump" of 1822 in a race between Jesus College and Brasenose College, but this is uncertain. See Sherwood's book at page 10 for more information; also Jesus College Boat Club |
