EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Lacrosse match in progress during the early 1900s. The image, dated 1906, depicts a thrilling moment as two schoolboys from Britain charge up the field, each wielding a lacrosse stick in hand. Their intense focus and determination are evident as they make a strategic run towards the opponent's goal. Lacrosse, a traditional English sport with Native American origins, had gained immense popularity among the British schoolboys of the time. The game required a great deal of agility, speed, and teamwork, making it an excellent physical and mental challenge for the young players. The photograph, titled "Lacrosse Match - Running up the field," was captured by renowned British photographer Rowlandson, who expertly captured the raw energy and excitement of the game. The players' uniforms, consisting of shorts and sweaters, reflect the era's athletic fashion. The lush, green field, dotted with patches of snow, adds to the picturesque setting of the scene. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Lacrosse and the lives of schoolboys in the early 1900s. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the sport and the joy and camaraderie it brings to those who play it.
