EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement of a football game at the University of Pennsylvania Athletic Grounds in Philadelphia. Taken in the 19th century by an American photographer, this historic image showcases a moment frozen in time. The sprawling grounds, located between Spruce and Pine Streets from Thirty-sixth to Thiry-seventh Streets, are filled with spectators eagerly watching the game unfold. The players on the field demonstrate their athleticism and skill as they compete for victory. The image is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration in Fifty Glimpses of Philadelphia and Vicinity, published by Rand McNally in 1898. It provides us with a glimpse into life during that era, showcasing not only the popularity of football but also giving us insight into how people dressed and interacted during sporting events. As we look at this photograph today, we can't help but marvel at its historical significance. It reminds us of how far sports have come since then while also highlighting our shared love for competition and community. This image serves as a testament to both Philadelphia's rich history and America's enduring passion for sports.
