EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The photograph features a determined and elegant lady dressed in the fashion of the Victorian or Edwardian era, her eyes focused intently on the football at her feet. With a powerful kick, she sends the ball soaring through the air, her long skirt billowing around her as she raises her arm in triumph. The setting of the photograph is a tranquil outdoor scene, with lush greenery and a clear blue sky providing a picturesque backdrop. A lantern slide, likely used for projecting this image onto a screen during presentations or lectures, adds to the nostalgic charm of the photograph. At a time when women's participation in sports was still relatively uncommon, this image is a testament to the growing popularity of football among women in the early 20th century. The lady in the photograph embodies the spirit of determination and athleticism that was emerging in women during this period, challenging societal norms and paving the way for greater gender equality in sports and beyond. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past, but also a reminder of the enduring power of sport to bring people together and inspire us to push beyond our limits. Whether you're a history buff, a sports enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-composed image, this vintage photograph is sure to capture your imagination and leave you with a sense of wonder and admiration for the women who came before us.
