EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Sidcup County School in Kent on 12 February 1938. A group of young boys can be seen engrossed in an intense game of Lacrosse, showcasing their agility and skill. The image, taken by renowned photographer John Topham, transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Europe between the wars. In this snapshot from the thirties, we witness the action unfold as these determined players fiercely compete for victory. Their lacrosse sticks are poised mid-air, ready to strike with precision and finesse. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this image, emphasizing the dedication etched onto each player's face. Topham's expert lens captures not only the physicality of the sport but also reveals glimpses into these young men's personalities. We see determination etched upon their faces as they strive towards a common goal - perhaps both on and off the field. As we delve into this piece of Europeana photography, it serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of youth culture throughout history. This photograph encapsulates a pivotal era when nations were rebuilding themselves after World War I while unknowingly teetering on the brink of another global conflict. Let this remarkable image transport you back to an era where camaraderie was forged through spirited competition and where dreams were nurtured amidst uncertain times – all within the confines of Sidcup County School's lacrosse field in 1938.
