EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of Victorian England, specifically to Lords Cricket Ground in London during the luncheon interval of a highly anticipated match between Oxford and Cambridge University. The artist, RW Thomas, skillfully captures the vibrant atmosphere as spectators fill the stands, eagerly awaiting the resumption of play. The image showcases an amalgamation of elements that define British culture - education, sport, and tradition. The prestigious universities' rivalry is on full display as students from both institutions proudly don their respective colors while engaging in friendly banter with one another. The crowd exudes excitement and anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling cricket match. Located in Westminster's picturesque St John's Wood area, Lords Cricket Ground serves as an iconic backdrop for this historic event. Its hallowed grounds have witnessed countless memorable moments throughout cricket history. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, transporting us back to the late 19th century when gentlemen would gather at such sporting events dressed impeccably in suits and top hats. This print is part of "The Book of Cricket" edited by CB Fry and published by George Newnes Ltd. , which pays homage to famous players who have graced these very fields. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us not only of our rich sporting heritage but also celebrates the spirit of camaraderie that unites people through their shared love for cricket.
