EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Sunderland Football Club from 1895, brought to you by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This early image captures the spirit and essence of football in the late Victorian era, a time when the game was still evolving and gaining popularity. The team, dressed in their distinctive red and white striped shirts, pose confidently for the camera, their expressions revealing a mix of determination and camaraderie. The image is believed to have been taken at Roker Park, Sunderland's home ground since 1888, which was then considered one of the finest football grounds in the country. The photograph is a fascinating snapshot of the team's early history, a time when football was still very much an amateur pursuit, and players often had other jobs to support themselves. Sunderland AFC had already made a name for itself, having won the FA Cup for the first time in 1892, and this team would go on to win it again in 1895. The photograph is a beautiful example of Edwardian photography, with the team arranged in a formal pose, and the use of a lantern slide adds to the nostalgic feel. The image invites us to imagine the roar of the crowd, the smell of the pitch, and the excitement of the game as it was played over a century ago. This photograph is not only a treasure for Sunderland Football Club fans but also for anyone with an interest in the history of football and sports photography. It is a reminder of the rich heritage of the game and the passion that has driven it forward for over a century.
