EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian greetings card image of boys enthusiastically playing cricket on a sun-kissed summer day. Dressed in their team colors of red, blue, green, and yellow, the boys exhibit a sense of camaraderie and excitement as they take to the lush, green grass pitch. In the foreground, a young fielder, clad in a striped jersey, focuses intently on the ball in mid-air, extending his gloved hand in an attempt to make the catch. Alas, fate has other plans as the ball takes an unexpected bounce and hits him squarely on the nose, eliciting a look of surprise and amusement from his teammates and onlookers. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a marquee in the background, adding an air of festivity to the occasion. Trees line the edges of the pitch, providing a picturesque backdrop to this timeless moment in cricket history. A perfect reminder of the joys of summer and the simple pleasures of a game of cricket, this image is a must-have for any vintage sports or cricket enthusiast.
