Description: Up for sale is a vintage rugby "Official Programme - England v. France at Twickenham" from Saturday, 19th April, 1947. The program measures approximately 8 1/2" x 6 1/4" when closed. When opened, it measures 8 1/2" x 12 1/2". It is on paper with green and red writing. The Six Nations Championship is the oldest rugby championship in the world, dating back to 1882. Originally held between the four United Kingdom countries England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. France joined in 1910 and Italy joined in 2000. With the outbreak of World War II, it meant the curtailment of the championships in 1940, until it resumed in 1947. Overall, the program is in Good- Condition. The paper has wear and browning, due to age. There are some creases, here and there, and some nicks along the edges. The program is tearing slightly at the folded crease. There is heavier browning along the top edge. On the bottom of the opened program, there is a crease in the bottom right corner and a larger crease in the bottom left corner.. This program is a very nice piece of sports history! It is one of the first programs printed from the 1947 championship, when no other games had been played or programs had been printed since 1939. Other dings here and there. Please email with questions and see my store for other great items.
