EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene from the past, showcasing a game of fives being played by young boys in an English school. The image, taken by an anonymous English photographer in the 20th century, evokes a sense of tradition and camaraderie within the education system. The boys are seen engrossed in their game, displaying their enthusiasm and skill as they engage in this classic ball game. Their school uniforms and serious expressions reflect the importance placed on discipline and physical activity during schooldays. The photograph is part of a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and historical significance. It was also featured as an illustration for John Rogers' book "The Old Public Schools of England" published by Batsford in 1938. With its timeless charm, this image transports us back to a different era when games like fives were popular among British schoolchildren. It offers us a glimpse into the rich heritage of public schools in England while highlighting the universal joy that comes from playing sports with friends. Bridgeman Images has preserved this moment through fine art photography, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural value.
