This 19th-century lithograph print titled "William Beach, Oarsman" captures the essence of a true sportsman. The portrait showcases an Australian sculler named William Beach, also known as Bill Beach, who was part of the Worlds Champions Series 1 (N28) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1887. With his impressive facial hair and distinguished moustache, Beach exudes confidence and strength. The lithotint technique used to create this vibrant color image brings out every detail of Beach's athletic physique and sportswear. His intense gaze reflects his dedication to his profession as an oarsman, making him a champion in his field.

It represents not only Australia's rich sporting heritage but also highlights the global appeal of competitive rowing. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the passion and skill that defined athletes like William Beach.
