EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Rev. E.M. Baker, an extraordinary figure in Victorian England's rugby scene. A man of faith and athletic prowess, Baker represented both England and his alma mater, Oxford University, on the rugby pitch. The image, taken in the late 1890s, portrays Baker in the prime of his career, donning the jersey of Birmingham Moseley, a prominent rugby club in England at the time. Baker's dual identity as a reverend and a rugby player adds an intriguing layer to his story. He embodied the spirit of the era, when sports and religion intertwined, and individuals could excel in various domains. The photograph serves as a testament to Baker's versatility, strength, and dedication, both on and off the field. The year 1895 marks a significant milestone in Baker's rugby journey, as it was the year he made his international debut for England. This achievement further solidified his place in rugby history, making him an inspiration for generations of athletes and sports enthusiasts. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, showcases the elegance and grace of the game, with players dressed in their formal attire, adding an element of sophistication to the sport.
