Alnwick; Printed by J Graham, 1828., 1828. Two broadsides on wove paper, each approximately 22.5 x 18.5 cm. Faint historic creases from folding and a little associated offsetting, otherwise both clean and crisp. Unsurprisingly previously unrecorded these two rare ephemeral survivors are striking for having been printed on exactly the same day in 1828 in Alnwick, only 17 miles from the village of Ulgham in Northumberland (noted as possibly the earliest reference to the game of football, in 1280), and for shedding light on the early origins of "The Beautiful Game" in England. Any football ephemera from the 19th century is rare indeed and anything predating the establishment of the game in the 1860's almost unheard of. The development of the game of football in England is long and convoluted but its stems from two distinct sources, Shrove Tuesday matches and the English Public School system, the former having much earlier roots. The first documented club to bear in the title a reference to being a… Leer más
