EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Derby County Football Team from the year 1895. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of football history. Derby County, a professional football club based in Derby, England, was formed in 1884 and has a rich heritage in English football. In this Edwardian-era photograph, the team members proudly display their jerseys and football equipment, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century. The team's uniform consists of a simple white shirt with a black sash, reminiscent of the traditional colours of Derby County. The image captures the team's determination and camaraderie, as they stand in a semi-circle, gazing intently at the camera with a sense of pride and focus. The team's captain, likely holding the football, stands at the center, leading his teammates with an air of authority. The players' expressions and body language reveal their passion for the game, which has remained a constant element in football culture to this day. The photograph's lantern slide format adds to its historical significance, as lantern slides were a popular means of projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This image offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of football and the evolution of team dynamics, as well as the fashion and social context of the Edwardian era. This photograph is not only a valuable addition to any football or sports enthusiast's collection but also a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the early days of football and the passion and dedication of its pioneers.
