The Medici Society Ltd. - Going to the Match (1953) by L.S. Lowry

1 postcard

L.S. Lowry created a number of paintings showing football scenes but this is the only postcard I am aware of. The original title of this work was Football Ground, showing fans converging on Bolton Wanderers's old football ground at Burnden Park; painted for a competition run by the Football Association. It was bought by the Professional Footballers' Association for a record £1.9 million in 1999.
Other L.S. Lowry paintings featuring the beautiful game include The Football Match (1937), Saturday Afternoon (1941), Going to a Football Match (1946) and The Football Match (1949).
