England v Scotland 1889.

Six of the England players, including their captain, Percy Walters, are wearing their international caps, each with the date they were awarded embroidered to the peak.

To the verso is another, smaller, England team photograph of the period, year not known. Small nick to left edge of the main photograph. Some tears to the edges of the album page, not affecting the main image. Small tear to top corner of the smaller image to the back. Otherwise in good/ very good condition.
