EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Scotland Football Team from 1895, a rare and intriguing glimpse into the early history of Scottish football. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the team's Edwardian-era uniforms and the unique atmosphere of football during this period. The image, taken over a century ago, features a line-up of eleven players, all dressed in their team colours of royal blue shirts and white shorts. Their expressions range from focused determination to light-hearted banter, reflecting the camaraderie and spirit that has long been synonymous with football. The photograph is believed to have been captured as a lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This explains the slightly soft focus and the slight graininess that adds to the vintage charm of the image. Football in Scotland during the late 1800s and early 1900s was a burgeoning sport, with the first Scottish Football League having been established just a few years earlier, in 1890. The game was still very much in its infancy, and this photograph offers a unique insight into the early days of Scottish football, a time when the sport was still very much a part of the local community and played primarily for the love of the game. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document, but also a beautiful work of art, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the passion and dedication of the players who came before us. Whether you're a football fan, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of vintage photography, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you back in time.
