EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Charles Vaughan Rooke" and sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era. The image features a striking young man named Charles Vaughan Rooke, who exudes an air of confidence and athleticism. He is posing in front of a wooden backdrop, holding a lantern in one hand and a rugby ball under his arm. The lantern, with its intricate design and brass fittings, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Charles' attire is that of a rugby player, with a thick sweater, high-waisted trousers, and a cap adorned with the insignia of his rugby club. The team badge on his cap suggests that this photograph was taken during a match or training session. The rugged terrain in the background further emphasizes the sporting nature of the scene. The photograph is a beautiful example of early photographic techniques, with the soft focus and high contrast creating a dreamlike quality. The use of natural light and the rich, warm tones add to the nostalgic feel of the image. The photograph not only captures the essence of Charles as an individual but also provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditions and pastimes of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This photograph is a must-have for any vintage photography or rugby enthusiast, and is sure to make a stunning addition to any home or office decor.
