The story

Stade Élisabeth, 19 February 1928: the women’s team of Fémina Sport, and the Agence Rol caption names them. Standing, from the left: A. Darreau, Goinard, Beurlay, Bracquemond, Thomas and G. Darreau, with Dessard and her teammates kneeling in front. Fémina Sport had been founded in Paris in 1912 and played in the first women’s football match in 1917, and through the 1910s and 1920s it won title after title. Two Darreaus in one team suggests a family, though the record does not say. This is the club that started it, eleven years on, still playing.

About this reproduction

A reproduction of press photograph — Agence Rol, 1928 — from the copy held by Bibliothèque nationale de France, Gallica · via 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.
