Tug of War
A couple of years ago, I posted another tug of war photo of Eakins' students.
It's better than this one, but I decided to go for variety.
While it certainly isn't "regulation," I've experienced it myself in schoolyard versions of the sport. The Scottish dock workers at Leith actually had league competition in the early 20th C., and it was an Olympic sport 1900-1920.
Jerry was Eakins known to be homosexual?
ReplyDeleteYes. There was always some question during his lifetime, but decades after his death some letters came to light which definitely settled the matter.
DeleteWho does a tug o' war on their backsides? I've never seen that before!
