EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the world of rugby in the United Kingdom. The image features Algernon Latter, a prominent figure in the sport, standing confidently in front of a lantern slide projector. The lantern slide, a precursor to the modern-day slide projector, is filled with an image of a rugby match, most likely one in which Algernon participated. Algernon Latter was a renowned rugby player, having represented both Blackheath and Oxford University teams during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The period dressing, from his tailored blazer and tie to his polished shoes, underscores the elegance and tradition of the sport during this time. The photograph's intricate details, from the textured wood of the projector to the intricate patterns on the wallpaper in the background, evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind us of a bygone era. The photograph's warm, sepia tones further emphasize the antiquity of the scene. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection focused on the history of rugby, sports, or the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the rich heritage of rugby and the passion and dedication of its early players like Algernon Latter.
