Légende

Boat-race on the Tyne, 1873. Illustration of '...the boat-race on the 28th July, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, contested by the two famous scullers, Kelley and Taylor. The prize was no less than £400, and was easily won by Kelley, who came in 150 yards before his competitor. The High Level Railway Bridge, from which they started to row over the champion course, is a conspicuous object in this sketch; behind it is a wooden bridge of no great pretensions. To the right hand is the steam-boat which carried the umpire or referee, with another steam-boat for privileged spectators'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
