EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and athleticism. The image features Ralph T Squire, a prominent figure in the Corinthians Football Club during the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. Ralph T Squire is seen here in his footballing attire, holding a lantern in one hand and a football in the other. The lantern, a common sight during nighttime football matches, adds an intriguing element to the photograph, highlighting the dedication and passion these players had for their sport. The Corinthians Football Club, established in 1882, was one of the oldest and most prestigious football clubs in England. Known for their distinctive white shirts and black ties, the club was renowned for its amateur status and commitment to fair play. The team consisted mainly of students from Cambridge University, making it a hub for intellectual and athletic pursuits. This photograph, taken during the late Victorian or early Edwardian period, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the time. The players' tailored uniforms, clean-shaven faces, and serious expressions convey a sense of discipline and focus. The lantern, with its flickering light, adds a touch of mystery and drama to the scene. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of football and its evolution from a simple pastime to a global sport. It also highlights the importance of amateur sports clubs in fostering camaraderie, discipline, and a sense of community during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This image is a must-have for any vintage sports enthusiast or history buff, providing a glimpse into a bygone era of elegance and athleticism.
