The story

The house’s conscience piece: the first great women’s team, at full strength, on the eve of the ban. They were factory workers — munitionettes who had begun playing at dinner breaks during the war — and by 1921 they were the best-drawing side in Britain, home or away, men’s or women’s. Lily Parr on the left wing scored around a thousand goals; the team raised the equivalent of millions for wounded ex-servicemen. Lined up in stripes and bobbed hair, the confidence of the front row says everything — they knew exactly what they were. History keeps the team sheet.

About this reproduction

A reproduction of period photograph — period photograph, c. 1921 — from the copy held by Unknown photographer, 1921 · Wikimedia Commons. The source. The work was published before 1931 and is public-domain verified.
Printed faithful to that source scan — restore honestly, disclose always. We do not re-colour it, complete it, or interpret it; the piece you receive is the image as it survives, halftone grain honored as history, not damage.
Printed to order on museum-grade cotton-rag stock with pigment inks — the pairing is rated 100+ years.
Colour-managed to the source; the tone of the paper and the ink is the period’s, not ours.
Ships in 5–10 business days, rolled in a heavy-wall tube (framed editions ship flat-packed).
If it arrives less than perfect, we reprint or refund — your choice.

Why our pieces cost more than a poster: a poster is a mass run on wood-pulp stock, colour-corrected to whatever flattered the press that day. This is one sheet, pulled for you, at a size where the maker’s hand is visible — the linework, the halftone grain, the lettering — on materials made to outlast their owner.
