EDITORS COMMENTS
This Christmas postcard from 1892 takes us back in time to a thrilling football match, beautifully depicted in vibrant colors through the technique of lithography. The English School of the 19th century skillfully captures the essence of this festive occasion at the National Football Museum in Manchester, UK. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to the teams eagerly chasing after the ball with great determination and passion. The players' faces reflect their intense focus as they navigate through a winter landscape adorned with snow-covered grounds. Adding an extra touch of holiday cheer, one player dons a Santa hat, reminding us that even on Christmas Day, football remains an integral part of celebrations. Beyond its visual appeal lies a heartfelt message hidden within this artwork: "Look through a light behind it place, to see a loving, warm embrace. May you shoot the ball of prosperity through the goal of '92". These words evoke feelings of hope and unity during this joyous season. The eNational Football Museum proudly displays this historic piece which not only celebrates football but also encapsulates the spirit of Christmas. It serves as a reminder that sports have always played an essential role in bringing people together and fostering camaraderie. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable snapshot from history for all to admire and appreciate its significance beyond commercial use.
