EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Sammy Woods with Rugby Ball and Lantern," is a captivating glimpse into the past, brought to us by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image features a young man identified as Sammy Woods, standing confidently in a rugged outdoor setting. He is dressed in the attire of the late Victorian or early Edwardian era, wearing a collared shirt, knickers, and a rugby jersey. In one hand, he cradles a rugby ball, while in the other, he holds a lantern, its light illuminating his determined expression. The backdrop of the photograph is a rustic, natural environment, with trees and foliage surrounding Sammy. The setting suggests that this photograph may have been taken during a rugby practice or match, as the lantern could have been used to light the playing field. The rugged terrain and rural surroundings further emphasize the sense of tradition and camaraderie associated with the sport during this time period. Rugby, a popular sport in England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was known for its physicality and intensity. The image of Sammy Woods with his rugby ball and lantern not only captures the spirit of the game but also the determination and grit of the players during this era. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of rugby in England and the enduring appeal of this beloved sport.
