EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirited atmosphere of a football match held in South Africa with the Scots Guards. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a historic moment frozen in time. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on July 6,1901. In this scene, players from both teams can be seen engaged in intense competition on the field. The goalpost stands tall at one end, symbolizing the ultimate objective of each team - to score that winning goal. The passion and determination are palpable as these soldiers showcase their skills amidst the backdrop of South Africa's stunning landscape. The photograph also highlights elements unique to rugby union, such as scrums forming between players locked together tightly. This physicality adds another layer of excitement to the game, showcasing not only their athletic abilities but also their camaraderie as members of the Scots Guards. Preserved through photography, this image allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate how sports have always been able to bring people together across cultures and continents. It serves as a testament to human resilience and unity even during times marked by conflict or war. This print from Bridgeman Images is a remarkable piece that encapsulates both sporting prowess and historical significance within its frame.
