Boys Find Refreshment in the Midst of a Football Match
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a charming moment from the 19th century, showcasing boys indulging in a peculiar halftime ritual during a football match. The image, titled "Boys eating lemons at half time in a football match" offers us a glimpse into the past and highlights an intriguing aspect of sporting culture. Taken from The Boys Own Annual published in London in 1912, this illustration depicts young boys seated on the grassy field, eagerly devouring succulent lemons. Their faces contort with puckered lips and squinted eyes as they bravely conquer the sourness that comes with each bite. Surrounded by lush meadows and lemon trees, these children find solace amidst nature's beauty while replenishing their energy for the second half of their game. The artwork not only showcases innocent childhood moments but also provides insight into early 20th-century sports practices. It reminds us of simpler times when halftime breaks were filled with simple pleasures like sharing citrus fruits among teammates. Through this lithograph, we are transported to an era where matches were played on open fields and camaraderie was fostered through shared experiences both on and off the pitch. This nostalgic piece serves as a reminder of how traditions evolve over time but continue to shape our understanding of history and its impact on modern-day sport.
