EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and energy of a Rugby match in progress at Twickenham, the home of English Rugby Union, during the glorious summer weather of the early 1910s. The famous Harlequin team, led by the great Adrian Stoop, is seen in action against Old Merchant Taylors in this high-stakes encounter. The Harlequins emerged victorious with a goal and two tries, outscoring their opponents by a significant margin. Our image provides a thrilling snapshot of the live action on the field, with Old Merchant Taylors making a determined push towards the Harlequins' try line, carrying the ball forward. The passion and intensity of the players are palpable, as they give their all in the pursuit of victory. The crowd, visible in the background, adds to the sense of excitement and anticipation, creating an electric atmosphere that is synonymous with Rugby matches at Twickenham. This photograph is taken from an article titled "Games and pastimes: What is the finest game?" published in 1910, providing a fascinating insight into the popularity and appeal of Rugby during this period. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Rugby as a sport, and the thrill of live action that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
