EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a sun-soaked summer's day at Hastings in August 1904, as the Kent and Sussex cricket teams face off in a thrilling match. The image focuses on the intense concentration of two of the game's most celebrated figures: C.B. Fry for Kent and Vine for Sussex, as they take their turns at the wicket. The scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque Princes Hotel and its grand buildings, which overlook the picturesque cricket ground. The Edwardian era is palpable in the elegant attire of the players and the stylish hats of the spectators, who are seated on the grassy banks, engrossed in the action unfolding before them. The atmosphere is one of excitement and anticipation, as the crowd watches on, hoping to witness a memorable innings or a stunning catch. The sun casts long shadows across the pitch, adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity that pervades the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket as a quintessentially British pastime, and the joy and camaraderie that it brings to those who play and watch the game. It transports us back to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of a summer's day spent at the cricket were enough to captivate the hearts and minds of generations.
