EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ladies Cup, Athletic Sports, Kings College School" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of triumph and celebration. The image showcases a group of young women proudly displaying their athletic prowess at Kings College School. In this snapshot from history, we witness the excitement and camaraderie that surrounded sports events during this era. The ladies are seen holding their prized trophy high in the air, symbolizing their hard work and dedication paying off. Their beaming smiles reflect the joy of victory as they bask in the glory of their achievement. The fine details captured by the English artist evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when athleticism was not only admired but also celebrated among women. This print serves as a reminder that gender barriers were being challenged even then, with these trailblazing athletes defying societal norms. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on May 29th, 1869. It stands as an enduring testament to both the sporting achievements of Kings College School's female students and to the power of art in immortalizing moments like these. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it is impossible not to feel inspired by these pioneering women who paved the way for future generations in athletics while leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
