Football

Two teams wearing respectively blue and red & white striped shirts have met in a park for a ball game seen at a moment when most of the players are packed around the ball.

Although the book presented here has this picture illustrate a chapter about football, Percy Muir, in Victorian Illustrated Books, captions it "The rugger match," which might seem more plausible (the shape of the rugby ball has evolved significantly since the early days). We follow his attribution of the artwork to J. M. Kronheim and extend it to the other illustrations of this book.
