Step back in time with this image of the Corinthians Football Team from the 1890s, brought to you by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of football and the Edwardian era. The Corinthians Football Club, founded in London in 1882, was known for its unique playing style and commitment to amateurism. Unlike many other teams of the time, the Corinthians did not pay their players, instead relying on the passion and dedication of its members. This philosophy, coupled with their innovative and creative approach to the game, earned them a reputation as one of the most skilled and entertaining teams in England. In this photograph, the team members are dressed in their traditional kit - a white shirt with a blue sash and black shorts. They are posing proudly, each holding a football and standing in front of a wooden fence, with a lantern slide projector and screen visible in the background. The lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, adds an intriguing element to the image, suggesting that this photograph may have been taken for the purpose of creating a moving picture show. Despite the passage of time, the spirit of the Corinthians Football Team remains alive, inspiring fans of the beautiful game and history enthusiasts alike. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of football and the rich history it holds, offering a unique and captivating glimpse into the past.
