Algernon Latter: The Versatile Victorian Sportsman (1890s) This photograph captures Algernon Latter, an all-round sportsman of the late Victorian era, in the midst of his athletic pursuits. The image, taken in the 1890s, showcases Latter's prowess in both rugby and cricket, two of the most popular sports during that time. Algernon Latter is seen here wearing the traditional rugby attire of the era, including a heavy jersey, knickers, and a cap. The rugged expression on his face and the determined stance of his body suggest the intensity and passion that he brought to the rugby field. However, the presence of a cricket ball at his feet hints at his dual role as a cricketer. Latter's career in rugby began in 1895 when he played for the prestigious Blackheath Football Club. He went on to represent England in the international rugby match against Wales in 1896. In cricket, he was a member of the Surrey County Cricket Club and made his first-class debut in 1897. The stripes on Latter's jersey and cap add a dynamic visual element to the photograph, making it a striking representation of the era's sports culture. Latter's legacy as a versatile sportsman continues to inspire athletes today, reminding us of the importance of embracing multiple passions and striving for excellence in all areas of life.
