EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Christ Church Rugby XV team of 1892-3, frozen in time. The image showcases a group of determined young men, clad in their rugby uniforms, standing proudly for the camera. As undergraduates of one of Oxford University's prestigious colleges, these students represent not only their institution but also a rich historical tradition. The photograph exudes an air of camaraderie and sportsmanship as the players pose together before taking on their opponents. Each face tells a unique story - from F. J. Salt to P. C. Baker, B. A. Hall to E. W. Wingate Saul - these individuals are united by their passion for the game and dedication to representing Christ Church College. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection that preserves its significance for future generations to appreciate. It serves as an illustration for Joseph Foster's book "Oxford Men and Their Colleges" published in 1893. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the enduring spirit that binds university teams together across generations. This photograph encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also represents the values upheld by these student athletes: teamwork, perseverance, and pride in their alma mater. With each player immortalized within this frame, we can't help but wonder about their individual journeys beyond this shared experience on the rugby field at Christ Church College over a century ago.
