Faulkner Postcards Rowlandson Rugby
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1903, transports us back in time to the thrilling world of Rugby Union. The image, titled "Rugby Union: Series - Postcards," is a testament to the rich history of this popular sport. The scene is set at a rugby field, where two teams, dressed in their respective colors, are locked in a fierce battle for possession of the ball. The players, with determined expressions etched on their faces, engage in a scrum, a complex and physically demanding formation used to gain ground and gain control of the ball. In the foreground, we see the legendary rugby players C.W. Faulkner (No. 2) of Blackheath and G.D. Rowlandson (No. 3) of Harlequins, both wearing protective pads and helmets. Their intense focus and powerful physiques convey the raw energy and intensity of the game. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the match, as the scrum collapses, and the players jostle for position. The photograph's composition and lighting create a sense of depth and dynamism, drawing the viewer into the heart of the action. The rough, grainy texture of the print adds to its historical authenticity, making it a must-have for any rugby enthusiast or history buff. This photograph is a reminder of the passion, skill, and camaraderie that have defined Rugby Union since its inception, and a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic sport.
