EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sport in the West End" captures a moment of energetic activity and camaraderie. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it is now part of a private collection. The image was originally used as an illustration for Rudolf Kircher's book "Fair Play, The Games of Merrie England" published by W Collins in 1928. The scene depicted showcases the vibrant sports culture of England, specifically in the West End. It takes us back to a time when school sports days were highly anticipated events, bringing together young athletes from various prep schools. In this particular snapshot, we witness a thrilling race with runners sprinting towards victory. Interestingly, amidst the English participants stands a group of German sportsmen. This inclusion hints at international participation or perhaps cultural exchange during that era. It offers a glimpse into how sport has always had the power to bridge gaps between nations and foster friendly competition. The print not only provides historical insight into games and sports but also highlights their significance within society. Whether it be ball games played in parlors or outdoor races like this one, these activities have long been cherished forms of entertainment across Europe. Overall, this image invites us to appreciate both the rich history and universal appeal of sport while reminding us that its spirit transcends borders and unites people from different walks of life.
