EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in time - the visit of American University Athletes to the House of Commons. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image showcases a group of athletes standing proudly alongside prominent figures such as Lord Stanley, Member of Parliament, Mr Lees Knowles, and Mr A J Balfour. The grandeur and significance of the Parliament buildings serve as a backdrop to this extraordinary gathering. The athletes' presence within these hallowed halls symbolizes the growing international influence and recognition of sports during that era. The composition beautifully highlights both the architectural splendor and human interactions within this historical setting. It offers viewers a glimpse into London's vibrant past while capturing moments frozen in time.
