Twee roeiploegen tijdens een wedstrijd before 1894

"Twee roeiploegen tijdens een wedstrijd" is a photograph by Dutch photographer Hendrik Herman van den Berg, taken before 1894. The image captures a rowing competition, with two teams of rowers in the foreground, racing towards a finish line marked by a flag. A large crowd of spectators lines the shore, their figures blurred by the distance, highlighting the dynamic movement of the boats and the excitement of the event. This photograph provides a glimpse into the world of competitive rowing in the late 19th century. The small size of the print, measuring 81 mm x 108 mm, suggests it may have been a personal photograph or part of a series documenting the event.
