EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a historic moment in the world of sports. This lithographic print by Ralph Cleaver takes us back to the early 20th century, where two prestigious universities clashed on the field. The match took place at Queens Club Ground, and this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News on 1 March 1902. Intriguingly, the image showcases various incidents that occurred during the game. We see Cambridge men displaying their skills as they engage in a fierce battle against their rivals from Oxford. Each player is adorned with a mourning band, perhaps paying tribute to King Henry IV or symbolizing unity amidst competition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the expressions on players' faces to their meticulously rendered uniforms, Cleaver brings this football match to life for viewers even over a century later. This print offers not only an insight into early football history but also serves as a testament to the enduring tradition between these esteemed institutions. It reminds us of how sport can bring people together and ignite passionate rivalries that transcend time. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork continues to inspire admiration for both its artistic merit and its depiction of an important sporting event from days gone by.
