EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Victorian London at Lords cricket ground. Engraved by Gustave Dore, a renowned artist from France, this artwork is part of the iconic book "London, a Pilgrimage" published in 1872. The image showcases the vibrant atmosphere and grandeur of one of England's most prestigious sporting venues. In this colorized depiction, we are transported back to the 19th century where middle-class spectators gather to witness an exhilarating game of cricket. The wealth and opulence surrounding Lords are evident as elegantly dressed individuals fill the stands with their presence. The bustling crowds create a sense of excitement and anticipation as they eagerly watch every move on the pitch. Dore's attention to detail beautifully portrays not only the sport itself but also provides us with a glimpse into Victorian leisure activities and social dynamics. St John's Wood, where Lords is located, serves as an idyllic backdrop for this historic scene. As we admire this engraving, it reminds us that sports have always been an integral part of society throughout history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and gain insight into London's rich cultural heritage during the Victorian era.
