EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Holmfirth Underbank Rangers Rugby Team from the year 1908. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of rugby in England's picturesque Yorkshire region. The team, proudly clad in their rugby jerseys and shorts, exude a sense of camaraderie and determination as they gather for a group photograph. The rugged terrain and open fields in the background suggest the rural setting of Holmfirth, a town nestled in the heart of the Pennine hills. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of great social change and progress. The popularity of sports like rugby was on the rise, and teams like Holmfirth Underbank Rangers would have drawn large crowds to their matches. The team's name, 'Underbank Rangers,' hints at their status as a local working-class team, reflecting the social fabric of the community. The photograph itself is a testament to the artistry of early 20th-century photography. The use of a lantern slide suggests that this image was once projected onto a screen for viewing, a common practice during this time. The grainy texture and slight imperfections add to the image's charm and authenticity, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to a time when community spirit was strong, and the simple joy of playing rugby brought people together. This is more than just a photograph; it's a window into history that invites us to explore the rich heritage of rugby in Holmfirth and beyond.
