EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early days of football in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image features Cuthbert James Burnup, an accomplished athlete and prominent member of the Cambridge University Corinthians Football Club during the late 1800s. Cuthbert James Burnup is seen here in a thoughtful pose, holding a lantern slide projector in one hand and a football in the other. The lantern slide projector, a popular form of entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suggests that Burnup may have been involved in presenting slides of football matches or other sports events to his peers. The football at his feet further emphasizes his connection to the sport. The Cambridge University Corinthians Football Club, established in 1874, is one of the oldest and most prestigious football clubs in England. The team's members were primarily students and academics from the University of Cambridge, and the club's emphasis on fair play and sportsmanship made it a respected institution in the world of football. Burnup's smart attire, including a blazer and tie, is indicative of the upper-class background of many of the club's members during this period. The photograph's muted colors and slightly grainy texture add to its authenticity and historical charm. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the lives of early football enthusiasts and the role that sports played in the social fabric of Victorian and Edwardian society. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of football and the rich history of the Cambridge University Corinthians Football Club.
