Inscriptions and markings

The Photograph is inscribed with the names of prize winners and details about their trophies.

Contextual Information

The inscriptions of the names of the winners and details about the trophies including their value is an important reference for family and sporting historians. The value of the trophies (150 pounds) is approximately worth $13,000 in 2021. The silver content of some of the cups would elevate this value. One of the prizes was a gramophone. Such instruments were expensive and still not common in most households of the era. The celebratory nature of the photo is to be considered in the context of the impact of the Great Depression.
