9 March: A Day of Historic Moments From the rugby field to the battlefield, and from Europe to Mars, it has been a significant day in history. In 1879, the decisive rugby football match between England and Scotland took place at Blackheath, captured in this lithograph. Meanwhile, in South Africa, peace negotiations were underway in 1881, as depicted in this engraving of the Boer Peace Settlement. In France, the high tide in the Seine at Tancarville Point on the night of 9 March, 1882, was immortalized in this engraving. Italy's patriot, General Giacomo Medici, was also a notable figure on this day in 1874, as shown in this engraving. Back in England, the opening of the Great Central Railway on 9 March, 1897, brought excitement and progress, as seen in this lithograph. Outside Buckingham Palace on the night of 9 March, 1901, the British people sang the National Anthem in celebration, as captured in this engraving. The Great Central Railway continued to expand, as shown in this lithograph of scenes on the route. In 1902, Sir Evelyn Wood and Commandant Joubert met to arrange the armistice in the Transvaal War on 9 March, as depicted in this engraving. The international football scene was also marked by historic moments, as seen in this black and white photo. And finally, on the red planet, the Endeavour Crater on Mars was explored by a rover on 9 March, 2019, as captured in this photograph. From sports to wars, and from Europe to Mars, it has been a day of historic moments worth remembering.
