Description: | Rowing colours handkerchieves 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. This handkerchief was probably made for Edward Hanlan's successful challenge for the sculling championship of England on the Tyne, June 15th 1879. After this victory his colours bore the inscription, Champion of England and America. | 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 |
