Messrs. Stearn, Cambridge - Cambridge University Association Team (1891-92)


1891-92
Cambridge University Association Team
Messrs. Stearn, Cambridge.
1 card

This is known as a 'cabinet card', common in the 1880's but declined in popularity through the 1890's. This on shows the Cambridge University football team of 1891-92. All the players are named, unfortunately the quality of the scan isn't good enough to read them. The club was founded in 1856, though the club may have been in existence much earlier - the first set of Cambridge Rules was compiled in 1846. The very first Varsity match against Oxford University took place on 30 March, 1874.
