EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Middlesex Rugby Team from the 1890s, a vintage photograph that transports us to an era of rugged determination and athletic prowess. The black and white lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the early days of rugby football in England during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The team members, dressed in their period rugby uniforms, exude a sense of camaraderie and pride as they pose confidently for the camera. Their rugged features and focused expressions suggest the rigorous training and discipline required to excel in this physically demanding sport. The team's uniforms, featuring baggy shorts and thick sweaters, reflect the practicality and functionality of athletic wear during this time. Rugby football, which originated in England in the late 19th century, was a popular pastime for both the working class and the elite. The sport's rough and tumble nature made it a favorite among those seeking adventure and excitement. The Middlesex Rugby Team, with its proud history and tradition, embodies the spirit of this early sporting culture. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of rugby football in England and the passion that has sustained it for over a century. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of sports and the role they play in shaping communities and bringing people together.
