EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a bygone era when cricket matches were not only about the sport but also a display of style and tradition. The year is 1931, and on the picturesque village green at Southborough, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells teams face off in an old-time cricket match. The players don top hats and proudly sport side whiskers, adding an air of sophistication to the game. Dressed in their whites, these sportsmen exude elegance as they engage in intense action on the field. The batsman stands tall with his trusty bat while the bowler prepares to deliver his next ball towards the stumps. Surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic spectators, this scene captures both the passion for cricket and the rural leisure that defined life during this period. It's fascinating how even amidst such excitement, everyone adheres to traditional attire and decorum. Alfieri's monochrome photography beautifully captures every detail of this historic moment from Europeana's vast collection. This image not only showcases a significant sporting event but also provides us with a glimpse into 1930s England – its fashion trends, social customs, and love for sportsmanship. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while inspiring us to appreciate both our sporting traditions and timeless style.
