EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of athleticism and fashion in the late 19th century, as a Victorian scrap, or scrapbook page, comes to life with the image of a dedicated lacrosse player. The man, dressed in the height of fashionable sportswear, dons a striped jumper and matching striped socks, completing his ensemble with a protective padding on his chest and a determined expression on his face. Holding his lacrosse bat with both hands, he is poised and ready for action, his focus intently on the game ahead. The lacrosse ball lies at his feet, a testament to his skill and mastery of the sport. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, showcases the growing popularity of lacrosse as a pastime for the affluent classes in England. The scrapbook page adds an extra layer of intrigue and nostalgia to the image, with its ornate border and delicate embellishments. The page's owner may have clipped this photograph from a popular magazine or newspaper, preserving it as a memento of the sporting world and the fashion trends of the time. This Victorian scrap, with its striking image of a lacrosse player, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when sportsmanship, fashion, and the pursuit of athletic excellence were intertwined in the daily lives of the Victorian elite.
