EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Ball Game, c. 1910" transports us back in time to a Russian market town during winter. Created by the talented German artist Christian Gottfried Geissler, this print captures the essence of a spirited football match taking place amidst a snowy landscape. As we gaze at the image, we are immediately drawn to the group of determined male players braving the cold weather. Clad in heavy coats and scarves, they showcase their passion for the sport as they engage in an intense game of soccer. The snow-covered ground adds an extra layer of challenge to their athletic prowess. The composition is beautifully balanced with tall trees framing both sides of the scene, creating a sense of enclosure and emphasizing the isolation of this small town. Geissler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from capturing each player's focused expressions to depicting their swift movements on ice-cold terrain. This remarkable print now finds its home at the National Football Museum in Manchester, UK – a fitting tribute to its historical significance within sports culture. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder that despite changing times and evolving technologies, our love for football remains timeless and unyielding.
