EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1890, capturing a lively football game from an English engraving. The image, skillfully engraved by William Heysham Overend, showcases the passion and intensity of this beloved sport that has stood the test of time. The scene unfolds on a grassy field as players clad in traditional attire engage in a fierce battle for victory. Their determined expressions and poised stances reveal their dedication to the game. Spectators line the sidelines, eagerly watching every move with anticipation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool, bringing life to each player and creating a sense of motion within the stillness of this captured moment. The composition exudes a sense of camaraderie amongst teammates while also highlighting individual prowess and strategy. Preserved through time, this historical piece now resides at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. Its presence serves as a testament to both the enduring popularity of football and its cultural significance throughout history. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills have immortalized this remarkable artwork for all enthusiasts to admire. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of our shared love for football but also how it continues to unite people across generations and borders alike.
