EDITORS COMMENTS
Step Right Up: A Moment of Anticipation at the Haverfordwest Show, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, 1908 This evocative photograph captures the tension and excitement of a high jump competition at the Haverfordwest Show in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, in 1908. The athlete, dressed in a smart uniform and donning an overcoat and bowler hat, prepares for his jump with the focused intensity of a seasoned professional. Two official-looking men, both wearing hats and coats, stand at either end of the jump pit, scrutinizing his every move with the seriousness of seasoned judges. The small band of musicians, perched on a raised platform in the background, adds an air of festivity and celebration to the scene. Their Edwardian attire and brass instruments harken back to a bygone era, when such events were a cherished part of the community calendar. The athlete's determined gaze and the serious expressions of the judges convey the importance of the moment, as the crowd holds its collective breath, waiting for the jump. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of sports and community events in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, during the early 20th century. The high jump, with its simple yet challenging requirements, has long been a staple of athletic competitions, and this image captures the essence of the sport in an era before the influence of modern technology and commercialization. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the show, and to appreciate the enduring appeal of athletic competition and the camaraderie it fosters.
