EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of rugby greatness during the late Victorian era, featuring the distinguished figure of R F C de Winton, a renowned Blackheath and England International Rugby player. Dressed in the traditional rugby attire of the time, De Winton exudes confidence and athleticism as he cradles the rugby ball with one hand and holds his fur-trimmed jacket in the other. The image, taken in the 1890s, highlights the rugged and sporting nature of the game, with the rough terrain and open sky providing a fitting backdrop. De Winton's impressive rugby career began with Blackheath, one of the oldest and most prestigious rugby clubs in England. He made his international debut for England in 1895 against Wales and went on to represent his country in a further 12 Tests, including against Scotland, Ireland, and France. His skill and determination on the field earned him a place in rugby history, making him a true sportsman and an inspiration to generations of rugby players. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of rugby during the late Victorian era, a time when the sport was at the height of its popularity and when players like R F C de Winton helped to shape its legacy. The image is a must-have for any rugby enthusiast or history buff, offering a unique glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of this beloved sport.
