About the Item

Antique Vanity Fair Print 'Bill' R.H. Forster, Rowing Coach by ELF – 1910 This is a vintage Vanity Fair lithograph titled "Bill," featuring Robert Henry Forster, a famous rowing coach, published in 1910. Forster, affectionately known as "Bill," was highly respected in the rowing world for his expertise and leadership. This print was illustrated by ELF (the pseudonym for the artist known for his sports caricatures), capturing Forster in his coaching attire, complete with a striped blazer and a rowing club cap, standing by the river with rowers in the background. Published by Hentschel Colourtype in London, this lithograph highlights Vanity Fair's tradition of depicting key sporting figures of the time. Forster’s confident and jovial stance with his hands casually in his pockets reflects his approachable yet authoritative presence as a coach. The artwork would have been celebrated in its day for its representation of rowing culture and its prominent figures. Perfect for rowing enthusiasts, collectors of Vanity Fair prints, or anyone looking to add a piece of sports history to their collection, this lithograph is an excellent decorative piece for any home or office with a vintage or sporting theme.
