Champion Boat Race, “The Start”

An artist sketch of the rowing crew from Saint John, New Brunswick during one of their races at the International Rowing Regatta in Paris, France. In the foreground their competitors are dressed in black and the Saint John crew is in white. Since the race took place in Paris, there are a number of buildings along the shore line, presumably used for water-based industry, and a bridge passing over the river. Along the bottom of the sketch is a banner that reads "Champion Boat Race. The Start."
