EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of an eventful day in 1881. This historical print, created by Frank Dadd and now held in a private collection, captures the essence of this renowned sporting occasion. Intriguingly detailed, the scene unfolds with various elements coming together harmoniously. The eye is drawn to the magnificent stone church standing proudly amidst lush agricultural fields, symbolizing the fusion of religion and rural life. Spectators gather eagerly around a cricket match, their intense focus evident as they cheer on their favorite teams. The image also showcases a diverse range of characters: from elegantly dressed belles and families enjoying a leisurely repast on picnic blankets, to soldiers representing Kent's armed forces who have temporarily set aside their combat duties for some friendly competition. Lions can even be spotted playfully frolicking nearby. This engraving not only celebrates sportsmanship but also highlights the importance of community spirit during Canterbury Cricket Week. It immortalizes an era when agriculture played a vital role in society while showcasing architectural marvels that still stand today. Frank Dadd's artistic prowess shines through as he skillfully brings together these disparate elements into one cohesive composition. Through his work, we are transported back in time to experience this momentous occasion firsthand – witnessing both the excitement on the field and the joy shared by all those present. Overall, "The Canterbury Cricket Week" serves as both an exquisite piece of art and a valuable historical document
