EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the Wales Rugby Union Team in 1895, a moment frozen in time from the early days of rugby union history. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a period of great change and innovation in the world of sport. The team, dressed in their traditional rugby kit, exudes a sense of determination and camaraderie as they gather together for this group portrait. Each player is individually identified by name, adding a personal touch to this historical record. The team's uniforms, consisting of heavy woolen jerseys and shorts, reflect the rugged and physical nature of the game during this era. The photograph was likely taken as a memento for the players and their supporters, a keepsake to remember their shared experiences and achievements on the rugby field. The image's warm, toned hues and slightly grainy texture are characteristic of lantern slides, a popular medium for projecting photographs during this time. Rugby union, which originated in Wales in the late 19th century, quickly gained popularity and became a source of national pride. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the early days of the sport and the men who helped shape its history. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the rich heritage and traditions that continue to define rugby union in Wales and beyond. The team's unwavering spirit and dedication to the game serve as a testament to the enduring power of sports to bring people together and create lasting memories.
