EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Merton Rugby XV team of 1892-3, frozen in time as a testament to their sporting prowess. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, showcases the camaraderie and determination that defined these young men. In this historical snapshot, we see a group of university undergraduates proudly donning their rugby jerseys. Each player exudes confidence and strength as they pose for the camera. Their faces tell stories of dedication and passion for the sport they love. The composition is strikingly timeless, with every detail meticulously preserved. From the worn-out rugby balls to the weathered expressions on their faces, this print transports us back to a bygone era when sportsmanship was revered above all else. It is worth noting that this image served as an illustration for Joseph Foster's book "Oxford Men and their Colleges" published in 1893. It stands as a visual representation of athletic excellence within academic institutions during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how sports have always played an integral role in shaping individuals and communities alike. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a tribute to those who paved the way for future generations on both collegiate fields and beyond.
