EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of English football in 1881, showcasing a group portrait of famous football players from that era. The image, taken from Boys Own magazine and beautifully rendered as a colour lithograph, transports us back to a time when the sport was still in its infancy. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the camaraderie and determination etched on the faces of these pioneering athletes. Each player exudes an air of confidence and pride as they stand shoulder to shoulder, representing their beloved England on the field. The composition is meticulously arranged, with every detail capturing our attention. From their traditional attire to their distinctive hairstyles and moustaches, these sportsmen epitomize the style and grace associated with Victorian-era football. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today at the National Football Museum in Manchester, UK, it serves as a reminder of how far English football has come since those early days. These players laid the foundation for future generations who would go on to shape one of the most popular sports worldwide. Through Bridgeman Images' expert preservation work on this print, we are fortunate enough to glimpse into history and appreciate not only these remarkable individuals but also the rich heritage that surrounds them.
