Description: | Rowing colours were designed and offered for sale whenever there was a major race. The usual charge for the handkerchief was a guinea, ��1 1s. Their sale provided a useful secondary income for professional oarsmen. The EH in the centre refers to Edward Hanlan, who was world professional sculling champion from 1880 to 1884. Hanlan came from Toronto, Canada, which explains the beaver design on this handkerchief. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East craft clothes made in the North East sport leisure men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
