EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to a historic cricket match that took place on 6 October 1846. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, showcases the intensity and excitement of this beloved sport. The scene is set at Copenhagen Ground in London, where two teams are engaged in a thrilling match. The players can be seen strategizing and executing their moves with precision as they aim to score points for their respective sides. A well-defined wicket stands tall in the center, awaiting its next victim. The atmosphere is electric as spectators gather around the pavilion, eagerly observing every moment of this enthralling contest. The city club's colors proudly fly high above the pavilion, symbolizing their allegiance to victory. Intriguingly, this print also reveals another location called Garratts Ground where matches were held during that era. It serves as a reminder of how cricket has been cherished across various grounds throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork preserved within a private collection today, it transports us back to a time when cricket was not just a game but an embodiment of camaraderie and sportsmanship. This engraving immortalizes those passionate moments shared between players and fans alike on that memorable day in October 1846 - forever etched into our collective memory through artistry and skillful storytelling.
