EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century in Brittany, France, where a game of soule (football) is about to commence. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, showcases the casual yet intense atmosphere that surrounded this traditional Breton sport. As we gaze upon the scene, we are transported to a time when football was played with raw passion and without any modern-day regulations. The players stand ready on an open field, their faces filled with determination and anticipation. Their attire reflects the simplicity of the era - no fancy uniforms or protective gear here; just plain clothing suitable for physical exertion. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment in French sports history. It reminds us of how far football has come since those early days in Brittany. From humble beginnings like these matches played on grassy fields to today's grand stadiums hosting international tournaments, it is fascinating to witness the evolution of this beloved sport. Displayed within the Library of Arts Deco collection at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this photograph serves as a testament to our rich sporting heritage. It invites us to appreciate not only how much football has changed over time but also how it continues to unite people across generations and cultures worldwide.
