Capturing the Spirit of a 19th Century Sportsman - Courtney Franklin, an Oarsman
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Courtney Franklin, a skilled oarsman who thrived in America between 1865 and 1880. Despite being taken by an unknown photographer during this era, the image exudes timeless charm and offers a glimpse into the world of sportsmanship from that period. With his distinguished facial hair, including a well-groomed mustache, Franklin embodies the essence of masculinity and determination. The photograph's impeccable clarity allows us to appreciate every detail - from his intense gaze to his strong physique - emphasizing both his physical prowess as an athlete and his unwavering focus on excelling in rowing. The stereoscopic technique employed adds depth to the image, making it feel almost three-dimensional. It transports us back in time to witness Franklin's dedication to his craft firsthand. As we observe him through our modern lens, we cannot help but admire how he epitomizes passion for sport. This portrait is not just about one man; it represents an entire era when sports played a crucial role in shaping American society. It serves as a reminder that athleticism has always been deeply ingrained within our nation's history. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection, this rare gem stands as testament to both Franklin's legacy as an accomplished oarsman and America's enduring love affair with sports.
