EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of James Jim Hannan (1864-1905), a Welsh international rugby player and a prominent figure in the sport during the Victorian era. Hannan's impressive career began in the late 1880s, and he quickly rose through the ranks to become a key player for both his country and his club, Newport. The image, taken in the 1890s, shows Hannan in his prime, exuding confidence and strength. His determined gaze and powerful build are testament to his formidable presence on the rugby field. The photograph, with its high contrast and sharp detail, transports us back to an era when rugby was a burgeoning sport, and players like Hannan were its heroes. Hannan made his international debut for Wales against England in 1891, and went on to earn 16 caps for his country. He was a versatile player, capable of performing well in both the forwards and the backs. His skill and tenacity on the field earned him the respect of his peers and the admiration of rugby fans across Wales and beyond. Off the field, Hannan was a respected member of his community in Newport. He was known for his dedication to his craft and his commitment to fair play. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era, when rugby was a simpler game, played by men who loved the sport for its own sake. It is a testament to the enduring power of sport to bring people together, and to inspire passion and dedication in those who play it.
