The image features Arthur William Boucher, a prominent figure in Newport rugby club during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Arthur William Boucher is seen here in his rugby attire, holding a lantern in one hand and a rugby ball under his arm. The lantern, a common sight during the era when outdoor sports were often played after sunset, adds an intriguing element to the photograph.
