EDITORS COMMENTS
A Plucky Try: A Humorous Rugby-Inspired Scene of Everyday Life from the Early 20th Century This charming and amusing illustration, titled "A Plucky Try," from the year 1905, showcases a mother and her young son in a futile attempt to catch their bus after a busy shopping excursion. The scene is reminiscent of the rugby term "try," where a player scores a point by grounding the ball in the opponent's in-goal area. The mother, with a rosy complexion and plentiful figure, wears a sailor suit, adding to the playful and lighthearted atmosphere. Her son, equally determined, chases after the bus with an umbrella in hand, his face etched with concentration and a hint of frustration. The double-decker bus, an omnibus of its time, looms in the distance, tauntingly out of reach. Despite their tardiness and unlucky timing, the mother and son duo display a plucky spirit, much like the players on the rugby field who never give up, no matter the odds. This allegorical scene is a delightful reminder of the enduring spirit and humor found in everyday life, even during the early 1900s. The illustration, with its punning title and rugby-inspired analogy, is a testament to the creativity and wit of the era. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a humorous and lighthearted perspective on the challenges of everyday life.
