Rugby at the "Parc des Princes", 1901


A fine French rugby postcard, dated August 1901, showing rugby players at the Parc de Princes (A large stadium west of Paris, for those who are landing here by mistake..., home of the PSG ... and sometimes hosting Stade Français as well in H-Cup...)

Actually, there is no indication at all on this card... I can identify the Parc des Princes from the buldings in the background, the track around the pitch and the advertising panels.. but I have some doubt about the teams... You could check a larger picture here and give me your suggestions...

I don't know anything about the history of photography, but I am quite astonished by the fact that the photograher had been able to capture the movement of this game. Great technique indeed...
