EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "S. Lee with Lantern at Rugby Match," is a stunning glimpse into the past, brought to us by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back in time to an era of elegance and athleticism, specifically the late Victorian or early Edwardian period in Ireland. The photograph features a distinguished gentleman, identified as S. Lee, standing proudly on the sidelines of a rugby field. He is dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with a crisp collared shirt, waistcoat, and tweed jacket. In his hands, he holds a lantern, its warm glow illuminating the rugged terrain and casting long shadows. The lantern was likely used to provide light during evening matches, a common practice during this era before the widespread use of electric lighting. The rugged landscape and rough-hewn wooden fence in the background add to the sense of authenticity and historical significance. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and excitement, as the crowd in the distance can be seen gathered around the field, cheering and clapping. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of rugby in Ireland and the passion that has long been associated with the sport. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and fashion of the time, making it a must-have for any history buff, rugby enthusiast, or collector of vintage photographs.
