EDITORS COMMENTS
The Inter-University Football Match on 18 February captures the intensity and camaraderie of this historic sporting event. In this lithographic print by Ralph Cleaver, we are transported back to a foggy day in 1899, where two teams battle it out on the pitch. The image portrays a developing moment in the game, as a man rolls the ball towards his teammate with precision and skill. The footballers display their agility and trickery, each vying for a chance to score goals for their respective universities - Cambridge and Campbell. However, amidst all the excitement, an unfortunate injury has occurred. A player lies on the ground with a wounded limb while others rush to provide first aid. This scene highlights not only the physical demands of football but also emphasizes the importance of medical services in ensuring players' health and well-being. Intriguingly, an engraving of Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god of medicine and healing, is featured prominently in this artwork. It serves as a reminder that even in times when injuries occur during sports events like these, medical science plays a crucial role in providing necessary care. Overall, Cleaver's lithograph encapsulates both pleasant moments of affectionate embraces between teammates celebrating success as well as challenging instances where injuries require immediate attention. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of inter-university football matches throughout history.
