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 rugby match between Swansea and Oldham, played in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The image features W. McCutcheon, a prominent figure in the foreground, proudly holding aloft a lantern as if signaling a try or celebrating a victory. The lantern, a common sight during night games in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, adds an intriguing element to the scene. The rugged players, dressed in their period uniforms, are intensely focused on the game, their expressions revealing determination and grit. The rugged terrain and open field, dotted with spectators in hats and coats, create an authentic atmosphere of the era. The sense of camaraderie and community is palpable, as the players and the crowd share in the excitement of the sporting event. Rugby was a popular pastime during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with clubs and teams springing up across the United Kingdom and beyond. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of rugby in Wales, a country known for its passion for the sport. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of rugby and the sense of tradition that continues to inspire fans and players alike.
