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 era football match at Southampton's St. Mary's Stadium. The image features W.J.G. Thomson (1861-1940), an esteemed figure in the local community, proudly holding up a football trophy. The lantern slide, a popular form of visual entertainment during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras, captures the essence of a bygone era. The crisp autumn leaves scattered on the ground, the well-dressed spectators in their top hats and long coats, and the players in their baggy shorts and high socks, all contribute to the authenticity of the scene. W.J.G. Thomson, a prominent figure in Southampton, is shown beaming with pride as he holds aloft the football trophy, a symbol of victory and achievement. The team's name, Southampton St. Mary's, is emblazoned on the trophy, adding to the sense of local pride and camaraderie. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of football in Southampton and the important role that community clubs played in the lives of their members. The image is a testament to the enduring passion for the sport and the sense of belonging that it fostered in the hearts and minds of its fans, even in the early days of the game. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of social history but also a reminder of the power of community and the joy that sport can bring to people's lives, regardless of the passage of time.
