EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an Edwardian football match in England. The image features W.J. Bassett (number 5) of West Bromwich Albion, a prominent football club during the Victorian and early 20th century era. Bassett stands proudly with his teammates, all clad in their distinctive blue and white striped uniforms, as they huddle around a lantern to study the opposition's tactics or perhaps to review their own strategies. The dimly lit scene, illuminated by the lantern's warm glow, adds an intriguing and atmospheric quality to the image. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of football in England during the late 1800s and early 1900s. At the time, the sport was rapidly gaining popularity, and matches were often played on makeshift pitches with minimal facilities. The use of lanterns to study opposition tactics was a common practice, as teams sought every advantage they could gain over their rivals. Bassett's determined expression and the intense focus of his teammates convey the passion and dedication that defined the early days of football in England. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of West Bromwich Albion but also to the enduring appeal of football as a sport and a cultural phenomenon.
