EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, presents a breathtaking view over Hong Kong Cricket Ground. The image showcases the lush, verdant expanse of the cricket pitch, with its pristine white lines and well-groomed grass, stretching out towards the distant buildings and hills. The serene atmosphere is punctuated by the elegant, tall lantern atop a nearby structure, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. Hong Kong Cricket Club, established in 1845, is one of the oldest and most prestigious sports clubs in Asia. The ground, located in the heart of the city, has been the site of numerous historic cricket matches, including the first-ever Test match between England and Australia in 1886. The backdrop of the photograph reveals the bustling cityscape of Hong Kong, with its eclectic mix of European and Asian architectural styles. The towering buildings, nestled among the rolling hills, speak to the city's rich history and its unique blend of cultures. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which documents the social, political, and economic history of Hong Kong during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the city's vibrant pastime and its enduring love for cricket.
