EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a cricket match taking place on Bansted Downs, Surrey in the 19th century. The image, taken in 1912, showcases the essence of England's beloved sport during a summer day in the countryside. The players are seen engrossed in the game, their concentration evident as they strategize and execute their moves. Surrounded by a wooden fence and an open gate, this idyllic location provides the perfect backdrop for this quintessentially British pastime. Tents can be spotted nearby, possibly serving as changing rooms or refreshment areas for both teams. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as spectators gather to witness this thrilling match unfold. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us back to an era when cricket was at its peak popularity. This publication from Imperial Cricket edited by P. F Warner serves as a valuable historical record of this cherished tradition. Lewis Bélanger skillfully captured every detail of this momentous event through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the game itself but also the cultural significance it holds within Britain. As we gaze upon this remarkable print courtesy of The Print Collector collection, we are reminded of how sports have always been able to bring people together across time and generations.
