1890s
1st February 1890
Relatively few photographs have survived from the first decade of Cygnet's existence, Perhaps the most iconic is an official club photograph taken on the Putney Embankment in June 1891. Most of the other pictures relate to upriver rowing excursions that were popular in the 1890s, glamourised by Jerome K Jerome's book, Three Men in a Boat. More recent pictures in this section depict rowing medals and swimming trophies that have since come to light, along with the first page of the first minute book.
