Condition: Very good condition. A group of British 5 soccer photographs taken to illustrate an article on "Association Football" for an article for The Century Magazine. The photographer ais possible S. R. Betts, as there is a tiny note in the top left corner on some of the backing cards stating such. The large labels state that the article is called "Sports, Eng. & Amer. II." The images include Queen's Park Rangers, Old Etonians A header - five men in the air; Cleverly taken away; Masters v. Old Etonians; A Corner; St. Andrews Day at Eton. The Field Games Masters v. Old Etonians "Rouge him!". The Century Magazine was a leading illustrated monthly between 1885 and 1913, published by the Century Company, which started in 1881. The label on the verso of the cards on which the photographs are mounted states "The Century Co. 33 E. 17th St N.Y. Frank H. Scott Prest. Art Department A.W. Drake Director." That address was the flagship store for the Century Company; in 1892, Frank H. Scott took over as editor. The photos look to be about just after the turn of the century. The Century Company merged with Appleton in 1933. The verso of the cards also have a variety of stock numbers and markings as would be pertinent to the Art Department. The one image that is not mounted also bears this stamp "Bowden Bros. 186, Buckingham Palace Rd., S.W. Acknowledgement of name under block not necessary". The images are approx. 4 1/4 x 6" and are very clear; 4 are mounted on card 7x5 1/2". The cards are brittle, some corners missing or cracked; some images are missing a corner. Overall, the images are clear and in good condition.

First Edition
Rare First Edition of this very early work on football. Engraved armorial title-vignette featuring a figure with a football by Francesco Nacci, two folding engraved plates, one with players lined up for play in the Piazza Sante Croce by Alexander Cecchini and one a diagram of player's positions. 4to, in nineteenth-century marbled boards backed in black morocco, the spine gilt lettered and with multi-line gilt ruled flat bands, additional gilt tooling at the foot, bookplate of Franco Niccoli to front paste-down. [xii], 118, [2 manuscript entries] pp. A very handsome and proper copy of this rare book, with a couple of contemporary marginal annotations and one contemporary manuscript leaf bound at the end, a little scattered foxing throughout but not obtrusive. RARE FIRST EDITION OF PIETRO BINI'S ANTHOLOGY ON FLORENTINE FOOTBALL, a forerunner to the modern games of soccer, rugby and American football. THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST TREATISES ON THAT PREDECESSOR TO OUR MODERN GAMES. In the game of calcio two teams each consisting usually of 27 men are engaged on an enclosed ground of 172 x 82 braccie fiorentine (just little smaller than a modern football field). The action consists of carrying and kicking a pumped ball of medium size with fists and feet (hence the name calcio) in order to make it pass beyond the terminal barriers of the adversaries' half. One such successful action is called caccia. The team making the most caccie is the winner. Games typically last one hour and are played 'for honour's sake'. The wonderfully detailed description of the game is largely by Giovanni de' Bardi and, though it was first published (anonymously) nearly a century earlier, the text included here is greatly expanded and illustrated. It fully explains the rules and manners of the game, and describes a number of games that had recently been played in and near Florence. The double-page plate depicts a match in the Piazza Santa Croce is very impressive and provides us with a lasting 17th century "instant replay" of the event.
