This black-and-white photograph captures the essence of Samuel Lee (1871-1944), an Irish Rugby International player and later the President of the Irish Rugby Football Union, during the 1890s. Lee's intense gaze and determined posture radiate the passion and dedication that defined his career in rugby football, a sport that was rapidly gaining popularity during the Victorian era.

The image is a testament to the physical demands and rugged spirit of the sport during this era. As a trailblazer for Irish rugby, Samuel Lee's legacy continues to inspire generations of rugby players and fans. His unwavering commitment to the sport and his leadership within the Irish Rugby Football Union paved the way for the growth and development of rugby in Ireland and beyond.
