EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the South African Rugby Team during their tour of London in 1892. The image, taken in the late Victorian era, showcases a total of twenty-two players huddled together, dressed in their rugby uniforms and holding their equipment. Among the prominent figures in the photograph are H.B. Huddart, the team's captain, and his cousins, J.C. Sharp and J.F. Sharp. Other notable players include Godlonton, Holtom, McGregor, Cockell, Crompton, Palmer, Goode, Harris, Mayes, Duval, Russell, and Jackson. The South African Rugby Team's visit to London marked the first time the team had toured Europe, and this photograph provides a unique glimpse into the camaraderie and spirit of the team during their time in the English capital. The late 1890s were an exciting period for rugby, with the sport gaining immense popularity both in South Africa and around the world. This photograph not only documents the history of rugby but also offers a fascinating insight into the social and cultural context of the late Victorian era. The team's visit to London was a significant moment in the development of rugby as a global sport, and this photograph serves as a testament to the team's achievements and the enduring appeal of the game.
