EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Chelsea Secondary School (Hortensia Road School) in London, 1911. A group of young girls is engrossed in a spirited game of netball on the school playground. The image showcases the energy and enthusiasm radiating from these determined players. In the foreground, one girl stands poised with her eyes fixed on the goalpost, ready to shoot for victory. Her focused expression reflects both determination and skill as she prepares to make her move. Surrounding her are other girls engaged in various positions, showcasing their commitment to teamwork and sportsmanship. The scene itself exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to a bygone era when netball was gaining popularity among female students. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the early days of women's participation in organized sports within educational institutions. Preserved by the Greater London Council and Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome photograph serves as a testament to both historical significance and cultural heritage. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of female athletes. As we admire this image today, let us celebrate these trailblazing girls from Chelsea Secondary School who embraced sport as not just a pastime but also an avenue for empowerment and personal growth.
