EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Scoring a Goal," transports us back in time to an incident at a football match played at the turn of the 20th century. The image, created by the talented artist George Derville Rowlandson around 1903, offers a rare glimpse into the early history of the beautiful game. The scene unfolds on a lush, green field, where two teams in period uniforms engage in a fierce competition. The moment of excitement and triumph is captured as a player from the foreground team triumphantly kicks the ball into the opposing team's goal, surrounded by teammates and opponents alike. The joy and intensity on their faces are palpable, reflecting the passion and dedication of the players during this era. The black-and-white photograph, with its high contrast and sharp detail, beautifully preserves the essence of the game in its infancy. The absence of modern technology, such as synthetic pitches and advanced equipment, adds to the nostalgic charm of the image. George Derville Rowlandson was a renowned English artist, known for his exceptional ability to capture the human spirit and emotion in his artwork. This photograph is a testament to his talent and his deep understanding of the game of football. The "Scoring a Goal" print is an invaluable addition to any collection, offering a unique perspective on the history of football and the evolution of this beloved sport. It serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal and enduring passion that football continues to inspire in generations of fans.
