EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image, titled "Woman playing football," is a rare gem from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph transports us back in time to an era of strength, grace, and defiance of societal norms. The woman, dressed in a long-sleeved blouse and a flowing skirt, is fully engaged in the game of football. Her determined expression and focused gaze convey her passion for the sport, challenging the Victorian and Edwardian notions of femininity and women's roles. The setting of the photograph is equally intriguing, with a lantern slide projector and a single lantern casting an ethereal glow on the scene. The use of this technology suggests that this photograph was likely taken for entertainment purposes, possibly as part of a lecture or slideshow presentation. The inclusion of the lantern adds an element of mystery and intrigue, inviting us to imagine the context in which this image was shared. Despite the time and distance that separates us from this moment, the woman's love for football resonates with us today. Her courage and determination serve as a reminder that the power of sports transcends time and culture. This photograph is not only a testament to the history of women's football but also a celebration of the human spirit and the enduring appeal of athletic pursuits.
