Summary

Black and white photographic group portrait of the Kodak Australasia Ltd football team, circa 1911.

There are 18 players and two others in suits, posing for the portait in front of a member's only stand. The people have been identified on an accompanying piece of paper, except Lewis Lewis who is identified in an inscription on similar photograph MM 96639.
Back row, starting 2nd from left: Lewis Lewis, 3rd from the left is Fred Howell, Percy Minter, John Walker, Sam White, Arthuer Bennel / Norm Jacks?, Monteith.
Middle Row, starting 3rd from left: Jack Lewis, Les Stott?, Leo Shibson, Ged or George Goble?, unidentified.
Front row, 2nd from left: Wal Edwards. Far right: Bill Morgan?

A man, possibly Alf Hogg, is holding a cricket bat, suggesting this team played various sports aside from football. He appears in other football photographs, suggesting he may be the coach or a Kodak executive supporting the team. See MM 155011 (man with moustache standing at far left).

Later, Kodak Australasia won the 1949 C Grade VFASD football premiership, and was quite active in the league in the first half of the 20th century.

This image complements the Kodak Heritage Collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
