Banner Carruthers Johnstone: A Champion Oarsman of the Late 19th Century This photograph captures Banner Carruthers Johnstone, a renowned oarsman of the late 19th century, in the prime of his athletic career. Taken around 1906, the image showcases Johnstone's determined and focused expression, as he proudly displays his oar, adorned with the colors of his rowing club. The moustache he sports adds an air of sophistication and ruggedness to his appearance, further emphasizing the historical context of the time. Born in 1882, Johnstone's passion for rowing began at a young age. His dedication and skill on the water quickly gained him recognition, and he soon became a prominent figure in the world of competitive rowing. Throughout his career, he represented various clubs and rowed in numerous regattas, both locally and internationally. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of competitive rowing during the late Victorian era. The era was marked by a strong emphasis on sportsmanship, discipline, and physical prowess. Rowing clubs were a hub of social activity, and members took great pride in their achievements on the water. Johnstone's story is a testament to the enduring appeal of rowing as a sport and the importance of perseverance and dedication in achieving one's goals. This photograph serves as a reminder of the passion and determination that defined the sport during this time and continues to inspire athletes today.
