Leslie Stephen, 1860

The clean-shaven bachelor, Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), leans against a table in this studio photograph by Camille Silvy. While he was a tutor at Cambridge, Leslie Stephen took an interest in the Boat Club: “I coached our boat till it became head of the river.” Stephen continued to row for pleasure throughout his life.
