EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential English scene of a sunny afternoon on Kew Green, with the soothing sounds of a cricket match echoing through the air. The image, taken by renowned photographer John Gay between January 1962 and May 1964, showcases the timeless charm of this picturesque location in London. In the foreground, an elderly couple can be seen seated comfortably in deckchairs, their faces turned towards the cricket pitch as they intently follow the progress of the game. The man, dressed in a smart blazer and trousers, wears a thoughtful expression, while the woman, wearing a floral dress and sun hat, looks contentedly at her husband. The tranquility of the scene is further emphasized by the lush green grass, dappled with sunlight, and the tall, leafy trees that provide a beautiful backdrop. Cricket, a quintessential British sport, has been a beloved pastime for generations. The game, which originated in the 16th century, embodies the spirit of community, leisure, and recreation. The serene setting of Kew Green, with its historic buildings and beautiful surroundings, makes it the perfect location for a game of cricket, drawing locals and visitors alike to enjoy its charm. This photograph, taken by the skilled lens of John Gay, is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket and the simple pleasure of spending a leisurely afternoon in the company of loved ones, surrounded by nature and the rich history of England.
