EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an Edwardian era football match. The image features J.M. Campbell, a proud and determined player of Sunderland Football Club, holding aloft a lantern during a night game. Dressed in the traditional kit of the early 1900s, Campbell wears a heavy cotton jersey, knickers, and stockings. His expression is intense and focused, a testament to the passion and dedication that defined the sport during this era. The lantern, a necessary tool for illuminating the pitch in the absence of modern floodlights, adds an intriguing element to the scene, casting an ethereal glow over the players and creating a sense of drama and excitement. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of Sunderland Football Club and the early days of professional football. The team, founded in 1879, was one of the pioneers of the sport in England and has a rich and storied past. This image, with its evocative combination of vintage style, sporting action, and historical significance, is a must-have for any collection dedicated to the history of football or the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online is a treasure trove of historical images, providing researchers, historians, and collectors with a wealth of rare and fascinating material. This photograph of J.M. Campbell and his lantern is just one example of the many gems that can be found within its pages, waiting to be discovered and appreciated by those with a passion for history and the beautiful game.
