EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the spirit of a Ladies Cricket Match, a popular pastime during the early 20th century. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era when ladies' cricket was gaining popularity and breaking gender norms. The ladies, dressed in their elegant white cricket uniforms, are intently focused on the game, their expressions a mix of determination and concentration. The gentle breeze plays with their flowing skirts and hair, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. In the background, a group of spectators, both men and women, watch with keen interest, their attention divided between the match and the lantern slide projector in the foreground. The lantern slide projector, an early form of visual entertainment, adds an intriguing element to the photograph. It is a reminder of how technology was integrated into everyday life, even during leisure activities. The use of a lantern slide projector at a cricket match suggests that this was a social event, where families and friends would gather to enjoy a day out, not just a simple sports match. The Ladies Cricket Match photograph is a beautiful representation of a bygone era, a time when gender roles were beginning to shift, and leisure activities were shared experiences that brought communities together. This image is a must-have for any collection of vintage photographs or those interested in the history of women's sports and social history.
