RUGBY SCHOOL POSTCARDS

A set of 5 postcards relating to the origin of the game at Rugby School. Each illustration was drawn by Charles Harcourt Chambers who entered the school in 1840 at the age of 13. The five drawings which Chambers made to illustrate various points of play are the earliest surviving illustrations of football at Rugby. Included with the cards is an additional sheet with further information and a facsimile booklet containing the first laws of rugby drawn up in 1845. These items are as new without any noted faults.
