A Set of 25 Framed Vanity Fair Rowing Pictures.
A great set of rowers and rowing caricatures from 'Vanity Fair' and 'The World' by Spy and other artists. All are framed in the same white washed oak frames with mounts. The mounts are with coloured wash lines pale red, Oxford blue and a Light blue.
The 'Ethel' print on the mount has written "Gold Medal. Coxless Pairs. Olympic Games, Atlanta 1996 - Matthew Pinsent MBE & Stephen Redgrave MBE" with their corresponding signatures. A great addition to an already rowers dream.
