EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense lacrosse match between East and West at Farringtons School in Chislehurst, Kent. Taken in 1938 during the tumultuous period between the wars, this image showcases a moment frozen in time from the vibrant sporting culture of that era. In this snapshot of history, we see a group of young girls and women clad in traditional gymslips engaged in an exhilarating game of lacrosse. Their determination is palpable as they fiercely wield their sticks, showcasing their skill and agility on the field. The action unfolds against a backdrop of towering trees, adding to the picturesque setting. Photographer John Topham expertly captures both the energy of the match and its serene surroundings through his monochrome lens. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the raw emotions etched onto each player's face as they battle for victory. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Europeana Photography collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where sportsmanship reigned supreme. This photograph serves as a testament to not only these young athletes' dedication but also highlights how sports can bring communities together even amidst challenging times
