EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1914, showcases an annual tradition bringing together the social elite of Britain for the Eton & Harrow cricket match at the prestigious Lord's Cricket Ground. The image encapsulates the essence of the early 20th century, with its timeless charm and historical significance. The scene is filled with an air of elegance and sophistication, as the upper class gathers to enjoy a day of leisurely sports and socializing. The gentlemen, dressed in their crisp blazers and straw boaters, engage in animated conversations, while the ladies, adorned in fashionable hobble skirts and tango tunics, add a touch of glamour to the occasion. Feathers abound in the form of elegant hats, with some featuring the distinctive aigrette plumes, adding a regal touch to the ladies' outfits. The hats, a symbol of status and wealth, were an essential accessory for the social elite of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where traditions and social class played a significant role in shaping the fabric of British society. The annual Eton & Harrow cricket match at Lord's was more than just a sporting event; it was a scene of unity, camaraderie, and social prestige that brought together the crème de la crème of British society. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this annual event and the social scenes it created in the early 20th century.
