EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How to Place Men in the Field (V), from Laws of Cricket, published 1910" takes us back to a bygone era of village cricket matches. The image showcases a lively scene with onlookers gathered around the pitch, eagerly watching the game unfold. In this humorous snapshot, we see a group of men running towards the wicket as if chasing after an elusive ball. Among them is a rather fat and corpulent gentleman who stands out amidst the crowd. His presence adds an element of amusement to the photograph, contrasting with the agile players on the field. The batsman at the center wears traditional attire, complete with a top hat that symbolizes sophistication even in this casual setting. A lone stump stands tall behind him, ready for action. The backdrop reveals an idyllic countryside inn where spectators can enjoy refreshments while cheering for their favorite team. Notably absent is any mention of commercial use; instead, there is an advertisement for Perrier water discreetly placed within the frame. This subtle inclusion reminds us that even during leisurely pursuits like cricket matches, businesses sought opportunities to promote their products. Overall, this vintage print captures both the spirit and charm of village cricket games from over a century ago. It serves as a delightful reminder of simpler times when communities came together to partake in friendly competition and revelry on sunny afternoons at local pitches.
