In this print titled "The Bishop of London plays stoolball at Fulham Palace" we are transported back to the 1920s, a decade filled with charm and tradition. The image captures an intriguing moment as the distinguished Bishop of London engages in a spirited game of stoolball within the historic grounds of Fulham Palace. Stoolball, a traditional English sport dating back centuries, is brought to life by the bishop's graceful stance and focused expression. His clerical attire juxtaposed against his active participation in this sporting endeavor adds an unexpected element to the scene. It serves as a reminder that even those in esteemed positions can find joy and camaraderie through recreational activities. Alfieri's monochrome photography style enhances the timeless quality of this image, allowing us to appreciate every detail while immersing ourselves in its nostalgic atmosphere. The composition beautifully captures not only the bishop but also other men who join him on this sportsmanlike occasion. As we gaze upon this Europeana photograph, undated but undoubtedly from an era steeped in elegance, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when traditional games provided both entertainment and connection among individuals. This snapshot freezes a moment where history meets leisure, reminding us that even figures as significant as bishops can partake in lighthearted pursuits outside their ecclesiastical duties. This Alfieri masterpiece invites us into a world where sportsmanship transcends societal roles and brings people together across generations – forever preserved through its exquisite
