"Football colours of our Public Schools"

I have just received this fantastic rugby print from my friend John (now expatriated in Dubaï...)

This print comes from Boys' Own Magazine (no date, but c1900) and shows the jerseys and caps of allmost each and every Public Scools rugby teams in England (90 rugby "colours" actually).

This is only a zoom as the full print is 1 meter long or so... !



I am going to frame it... you'll be able to see it in my office soon !

PS : I allready had a similar print from the same magazine issued in the 20s... but far smaller (only 44 "colours"...)

Hi Alec
Im afraid I cant help... I dont even know the exact publishing date... youll have to check all pre 1920 Boys Own Paper...
At least, check the link above to get a digital copy...
