EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bayliss, we are transported back to the 1930s, a time when football transfers were not as common or extravagant as they are today. The focus of the image is none other than Bryn Jones, a talented footballer who made headlines with his move from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Arsenal Football Club in August 1938. The significance of this transfer cannot be overstated, as it shattered previous records by commanding an astounding fee of £14,000 - a sum that was considered astronomical at the time and cemented Jones' place in history. Dressed impeccably in a sharp suit, he exudes confidence and determination as he poses next to his motor car. This snapshot captures not only the excitement surrounding Jones' arrival at Arsenal but also reflects on the era's transport and negotiation methods. It serves as a reminder of how far football has come since then, both financially and logistically. Bayliss masterfully captures the essence of this momentous occasion through his lens. The monochrome tones add depth and nostalgia to the image while allowing us to appreciate every detail - from Jones' poised stance to the sleek lines of his automobile. Whether you're an avid sports enthusiast or simply fascinated by historical moments frozen in time, this print offers a glimpse into one man's journey towards greatness during an era where dreams were realized against all odds.
