EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a bygone era of football history. The image features C A L Jenkyns (b. 1872-1949), an esteemed figure in the annals of Woolwich Arsenal Football Club during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Jenkyns, a versatile player, is depicted here in a moment of intense focus and determination, holding a football lantern slide. Lantern slides were commonly used for educational and entertainment purposes during this era, and it's believed that Jenkyns may have used this particular slide for motivational talks or presentations to his teammates or local communities. The photograph, taken against a backdrop of a simple yet elegant studio setting, showcases Jenkyns' distinguished appearance. His well-tailored attire, complete with a crisp collar and neatly combed hair, exudes an air of professionalism and dedication. The football, positioned prominently in the foreground, serves as a testament to his passion for the sport and his significant role in the early history of Arsenal Football Club. As one of the earliest known photographs of C A L Jenkyns, this image offers a unique glimpse into the life of a pivotal figure in the club's history. It's a captivating reminder of the rich heritage and traditions that have shaped the world of football, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the game.
