EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the British Film Institute takes us back to a momentous cricket match in Accrington, 1902. The image captures the essence of this beloved sport, showcasing the passion and camaraderie that surrounded it during that era. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to a bustling cricket ground filled with enthusiastic spectators eagerly following every move on the field. The scoreboard prominently displayed at one end reminds us of the significance of numbers in this game. It stands as a silent witness to an intense battle between two rival teams, their efforts meticulously recorded for posterity. Perhaps it was a close contest, with both sides fiercely competing for victory until the very last ball. Beyond its sporting significance, this print also offers us glimpses into life over a century ago. The attire worn by players and spectators alike transports us back to an era when elegance and formality were valued even in recreational pursuits. As we study this remarkable photograph further, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then – not only in terms of technology or fashion but also in society's collective spirit. Yet some things remain constant: our love for sports and our ability to come together as communities united by shared passions. In preserving moments like these through visual archives such as Mitchell and Kenyon's work held by the British Film Institute, we gain invaluable insights into history while celebrating timeless human experiences.
