Where is King Edward ?



French trade card "Chicorée Lestarquit Fils"... I agree: this is not the finest rugby card I have ever seen... by far!

Caption reads (in French) : "Sir John Boddern - Cherchez le roi Edouard". Indeed, King Edward's head is hidden somewhere... could you retrieve it... ? (In case you can't... the answer is here... please pass your mouse over the picture...)

By the way, could someone explain why this name "John Boddern" ?
