EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Ernest William Taylor (1869-1936), an English rugby legend of the late Victorian era. Known as E.W. Taylor, he was a formidable figure in the world of rugby football, having represented England as both a player and captain during the 1890s. Born in Leeds, Yorkshire, Taylor's prowess on the rugby field began to emerge early in his career, leading to his selection for the England national team in 1895. His impressive performances earned him the coveted position of captain in 1896, a role he held until 1898. The photograph showcases Taylor's athletic build and determined expression, embodying the spirit of the game during this era. Dressed in the traditional rugby kit of the time, complete with a heavy jersey, knickers, and boots, he stands confidently, his arms crossed, as if ready to lead his team onto the field. The 1890s marked a significant period in the history of rugby, with the sport gaining increasing popularity and recognition. Taylor's contributions to the English team during this time were instrumental in solidifying its reputation as a formidable force in international rugby. This photograph is a testament to Taylor's enduring legacy as a sportsman and a leader. It invites us to reflect on the rich history of rugby football and the men who shaped its early years. A true icon of the game, E.W. Taylor continues to inspire generations of rugby players and fans alike.
