A vintage photograph of an early Australian Rules Football team in a rural setting
[No Place (but probably 'somewhere in South Australia'), Unknown Photographer, circa 1890s].
A gelatin silver photograph (approximately 148 × 205 mm), on the original mount (external dimensions approximately 246 × 304 mm).
The photograph is lightly marked and scuffed; the mount is bowed and a little marked, with slight surface loss to silverfish, and minor wear to the corners; overall, in very good condition.
The early and varied outfits, the women and children behind the back row, the tussocks in the foreground, and the rustic backdrop - a thatch-roofed corrugated iron and field stone shed - suggest a casual rural environment, but most of the players look like they mean business.
