EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous varsity hockey match at Beckenham on 18th February 1928. Standing proudly side by side are two remarkable brothers, A J Carpenter representing Oxford and F W Carpenter representing Cambridge. The intensity in their eyes reflects the fierce competition between these prestigious universities. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, transporting us back to the roaring twenties. These young men exude confidence and determination as they hold their hockey sticks with poise. Dressed in classic shorts and crisp white jerseys, they epitomize the sportsmen of that era. This portrait not only showcases the athleticism of these individuals but also symbolizes the longstanding rivalry between Oxbridge institutions. It serves as a testament to the dedication and passion that university students bring to their chosen sport. Alfieri's expert photography skills have beautifully captured this significant moment in history, preserving it for future generations to admire. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be reminded of the rich heritage associated with varsity sports and how they continue to shape our present-day athletic culture.
