Visit of the Royal Party to the Cricket-Ground, at Castle Howard, 1850. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert watch a game of cricket as guests at Castle Howard in north Yorkshire. The royal party...witnessed for some time the play of the Castle Howard Club. The Earl of Carlisle is particularly fond of this game; and the spot devoted to it in the park, being surrounded by an amphitheatre of noble trees, and ornamented by flags and tents, has a very pleasing appearance'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled 'Visit of the Royal Party to the Cricket-Ground, at Castle Howard, 1850' by Ebenezer Landells, captures a significant moment in British history. The image portrays Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the monarch and consort of the United Kingdom, enjoying a day out at Castle Howard in North Yorkshire. Surrounded by a picturesque countryside, the royal party witnessed for some time the play of the Castle Howard Club. The Earl of Carlisle, a known cricket enthusiast, had created an idyllic setting for the game, with the cricket pitch nestled among noble trees and adorned with flags and tents. The Earl of Carlisle, George William Frederick Howard, is depicted in the foreground, engaged in conversation with Lord Morpeth. The crowd of cricketers and onlookers, both male and female, can be seen in the background, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. This engraving was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a fascinating insight into the leisure activities of the British monarchy during the 19th century.
