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 in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The image features W.B. Thomson (seated, third from left in the front row), a prominent figure in the Blackheath Rugby Football Club of Scotland. The team, dressed in their traditional rugby uniforms, exudes a sense of camaraderie and determination as they gather around a lantern, perhaps to review game strategies or share stories of past victories. The Blackheath Rugby Football Club, established in 1852, is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the world. The team's rich history and tradition are evident in this photograph, which showcases the team's commitment to the sport during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The lantern, a common tool used during this time for illumination, adds an intriguing element to the scene, emphasizing the importance of community and teamwork, even in the absence of modern technology. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of rugby and the passion that has fueled the sport for over a century. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and perseverance of athletes like W.B. Thomson and the Blackheath Rugby Football Club, whose legacies continue to inspire generations of rugby enthusiasts.
