Description: | Rowing colours handkerchieves were designed and offered for salw 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. William Elliott of Blyth had lost the Championship of England to Hanlan by the time these colours were isuued in 1880. It is most likely that this handkerchief was issued for Elliott's match with R.W. Boyd on the Tyne, February 9th 1880. Elliott lost the race. | 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 |
