The Universities Boat-Race: Cambridge winning, 1870. View of '...the annual race between the champion crews of the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Clubs...[on the River Thames in London]...The Illustration affords a good notion of the scene at the last moment on the river at Mortlake, when the Cambridge boat passed the winning point, one length and one third of a length in advance of the Oxford boat, while the close of the race was announced by the firing of a gun from one of the boats moored close to the Middlesex shore...A little book, bound in light and dark blue, has been published by Messrs. Deighton, Bell, and Co., of Cambridge, and Messrs. Bell and Daldy, of Fleet-street, which should find many readers, for its title is "The Oxford and Cambridge Boat-Races," and its author is Mr. W. F. Macmichael, M.A., of Downing College, late Secretary to the University Boat Club. It is a history of all the contests of the two University crews on the Thames, at Henley and Putney, from 1829 to 1869, both inclusive'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
