EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration depicts a lively game of football being played by a group of apprentices in the bustling streets of London during the 16th century. The year is approximately 1570, a time when football, with its rudimentary rules and chaotic nature, had become a popular pastime among the populace. Despite being banned by Queen Elizabeth I in 1540 due to its disruptive nature and potential for violence, the game continued to thrive in the shadows. The illustration, titled 'Football in the Streets of London,' is a testament to the enduring spirit of the game. The players, dressed in simple clothing typical of the era, are shown engaged in a fierce contest, with one player poised to kick the ball towards his team's goal. The scene is filled with energy and excitement, as onlookers gather to witness the action. The illustration, which dates back to 1910, is an important historical document that provides a glimpse into the past. It offers a fascinating insight into the way football was played during this period, before it evolved into the more structured and regulated sport we know today. The image also serves as a reminder of the game's rich history and its ability to bring people together, even during times when it was considered a source of controversy. The game of football continued to be played in the streets of London until the time of Oliver Cromwell, when it was once again subjected to regulation and control. This illustration is a valuable reminder of the game's humble beginnings and its enduring appeal, making it a must-have for any football history enthusiast or collector of historical prints.
