EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jimmy Ashcroft, the renowned English goalkeeper for Woolwich Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers. Created in 1907 by Rip, a talented artist of that era, this pen and ink drawing was originally intended for a set of cigarette cards. Preserved at the National Football Museum in Manchester, UK, this artwork captures the essence of early 20th-century football. In this lively portrait, Ashcroft is depicted wearing his signature Edwardian attire - complete with gloves and cap - as he confidently holds a football. The cartoon-like style adds an element of playfulness to the image while still capturing Ashcroft's skill and determination on the field. As one gazes upon this piece, they are transported back to a time when football was rapidly gaining popularity as a sport. Jimmy Ashcroft's contribution to both Woolwich Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers cannot be understated. His talent as a goalkeeper made him an integral part of these teams' success during his career. This artwork serves as a tribute to his achievements and legacy within English football history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial use intentions. It stands not only as an artistic representation but also as a testament to the enduring passion people have for sports like soccer throughout generations.
