EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fac-simile of a telegram sent by "W G" to his mother after the match between United South and Twenty-Two of Leinster on July 17,1874. The photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. The telegram serves as a glimpse into history, showcasing the communication methods used during that time. It was featured in The Album, A Journal of Photographs of Men, Women, and Events of the Day in 1895. The sender's identity remains unknown with only initials provided as "W G". However, we can imagine the excitement and pride he must have felt after witnessing this significant match. Perhaps it was an intense sporting event or even a victory for his team. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when telegrams were essential means of conveying important news quickly. It also highlights the strong bond between "W G" and his mother as he took the time to send her this message following such an eventful day. This snapshot offers us a window into both personal history and broader societal changes. Through its simplicity yet profound significance, it reminds us how our ancestors communicated their triumphs to loved ones long before modern technology transformed our lives.
