EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a bygone era of rugby history. The image features Frank Mitchell, a distinguished rugby player from the University of Cambridge, proudly holding up a lantern during a match in the late Victorian or early Edwardian period. Frank Mitchell's rugged and determined expression conveys the intensity and passion that defined the sport during this era. The photograph's muted colors and slightly grainy texture add to its authenticity and charm, further enhancing the sense of nostalgia. The setting of the photograph is reminiscent of the historic Cambridge University rugby club, which has a rich and storied history dating back to the late 1800s. The club's crest, emblazoned on Frank's jersey, is a testament to the pride and tradition that has long been associated with the team. The use of a lantern in the photograph is an intriguing detail that adds to its mystery. It is possible that the lantern was used to illuminate the playing field during nighttime matches, which were not uncommon during this time period. Alternatively, it could have been used as a symbol of light and guidance for the team, providing inspiration and motivation during challenging moments on the field. Overall, this photograph is a stunning reminder of the rich history and tradition of rugby in England during the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. Frank Mitchell's determined expression and the use of the lantern make this image a true treasure for any rugby or sports history enthusiast.
