EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an Edwardian rugby match at Blackheath, London, in the early 1900s. The image features R.F.C. De Winton, a prominent figure in the foreground, proudly holding aloft a lantern as if signaling a try or a victory. The rugged players, dressed in their period uniforms, are intensely focused on the game, their expressions a mix of determination, concentration, and sheer grit. The atmosphere is thick with the spirit of camaraderie and competition, as the crowd in the background cheers and claps, their faces obscured by the misty rain that adds to the sense of nostalgia and intrigue. The lantern, a common sight during rugby matches in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, was used to signal a try or a goal, adding an element of excitement and drama to the game. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of rugby in England and the passion that has fueled the sport for over a century. The image's faded colors and slight imperfections only add to its charm, making it a treasured piece of sports history and a must-have for any rugby enthusiast's collection.
