EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Alfieri in 1921, showcases the fierce competition between two teams of talented women hockey players. The match took place at Kew, where East faced off against the South Territorials on a chilly February day. The image beautifully captures the essence of sportsmanship and determination as these sportswomen engage in an intense game of hockey. Dressed in gymslips that were fashionable during the 1920s, they showcase both their athletic prowess and their adherence to the fashion trends of the era. The action-packed scene reveals players skillfully maneuvering their sticks with precision and agility. The goalkeeper guards her goalmouth diligently, wearing protective pads to defend against any attempts to score a goal. As spectators watch eagerly from the sidelines, one can only imagine the excitement that filled the air as each team vied for victory. This photograph serves as a testament to not only women's involvement in sports during this time but also highlights their dedication and passion for competitive play. Alfieri's monochrome photography style adds depth and nostalgia to this timeless image from Europeana Photography collection. It stands as a remarkable representation of sporting history from the twenties - an era defined by its unique fashion choices and evolving societal norms surrounding women's participation in athletics.
