Preserving Sporting History: Marist College Ashgrove 1946 Rugby League Team Framed by Jubilee Framers
At Jubilee Framers, we take pride in preserving the legacy of Brisbane’s rich sporting history. This recently completed project showcases a beautifully restored and professionally framed team photograph of the 1946 Marist College Ashgrove 1st XIII Rugby League Premiers — a true piece of Queensland’s heritage.
Honouring a Historic Team
The striking black-and-white photograph features 15 young athletes proudly representing Marist College Ashgrove, dressed in classic rugby league uniforms and posed with the 1946 premiership trophy. Each player’s name, position, and role are carefully recorded on a custom name plaque, celebrating their contribution to the school’s sporting success.
This project highlights how thoughtful framing can transform a simple photograph into a lasting tribute that honours both team spirit and tradition.
Premium Craftsmanship and Design
Jubilee Framers selected a rich reddish-brown timber frame to complement the period photograph while introducing warmth and sophistication. The image is surrounded by double matting — a vibrant blue outer mat and a contrasting yellow inner border — echoing the school colours of Marist College Ashgrove.
The result is a professional display that combines historical authenticity with contemporary presentation. Each design element was chosen to enhance the visual impact while protecting the original photograph for generations to come.
Preserving Heritage with Professional Framing
At Jubilee Framers, we understand that historical photographs require more than just aesthetic attention — they demand archival-grade framing techniques that ensure long-term preservation. This piece features acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing to safeguard the photograph from fading and environmental damage.
Every detail, from layout alignment to colour selection, reflects our commitment to museum-quality framing for schools, sporting clubs, and heritage institutions across Brisbane.
