EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of historical significance as Mr. Holbein is anointed with oil at Cape Grisnez. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, exudes a sense of solemnity and tradition.
The scene depicted in this photograph is from "The Sports of the World," edited by F.G. Aflalo and published by Cassell in 1903. It offers a glimpse into a time when such rituals were an integral part of sporting events.
Located in Dover, England, Cape Grisnez serves as the backdrop for this poignant moment. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the gravity of the ceremony taking place.
As Mr. Holbein receives the anointing oil, one can't help but wonder about the significance of this ritual and its connection to sports history. The image invites viewers to contemplate traditions that have been passed down through generations and reflect on their enduring importance.
