EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of illustrations depicts the Manchester City vs. Bolton Wanderers F.A. Cup Final held at the Crystal Palace ground in London on the 23rd of April, 1904. The central image captures the pivotal moment of the game, with Billy Meredith of Manchester City scoring the only goal that sealed their victory. The excitement of the crowd is palpable, with fans eagerly watching the action unfold from various vantage points, including perching on a nearby tree. The historical significance of the event is further emphasized by the presence of notable figures such as British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, who can be seen buying a programme in one illustration. Another image shows an excited fan embracing a policeman, reflecting the passion and fervor of the supporters. In the top left corner, two fans are shown huddled under umbrellas, shielding themselves from the elements. White of Bolton Wanderers can be seen being helped from the pitch in one of the later images, while the Hon. A. Lyttelton prepares to present the F.A. Cup to the winning team. These illustrations offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of an important moment in the history of Manchester City Football Club and the broader context of English football during this era.
