EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historical and traditional Shrove Tuesday Football Match that took place in Kingston-Upon-Thames on March 7, 1846. The image shows the excitement of the game between the Thames-Street Club and the Townsend team, with the action unfolding in the marketplace of this ancient town. The game, which started at 11am and finished at 5pm, was considered to be the whole town and the river, making it a unique and challenging experience for the players. The winning team was the one that managed to bring the ball closest to the marketplace by the end of the day. In the background of the image, the Town Hall and the tower of All Saints Church can be seen, adding to the historical significance of the scene. Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, was an important day in the local calendar, with the football match being a much-anticipated event. The game was an important part of the community's history and tradition, and this engraving provides a fascinating insight into this bygone era. The image, which is part of the ILL (Illustrated London News) collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record of a time when football was played in a very different way to how it is played today. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that surround the game, and the important role that community and sport have played in shaping our past.
