EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Jeu Du Cricket, Lutte Entre Les Etudiants Des Deux Universites De Cambridge Et D Oxford" transports us back to the late Victorian era in England. The artwork depicts a thrilling cricket match between the prestigious universities of Cambridge and Oxford. The scene is filled with energy as students from both institutions engage in a fierce competition on the field. Their passion for the game is evident through their intense expressions and determined postures. Spectators dressed in fashionable attire cheer enthusiastically, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Gustave Doré's masterful artistic skills bring this historic moment to life, capturing every detail with precision. The print was created as an illustration for Louis Enault's book "Londres" published by Hachette in 1876. Beyond its sporting significance, this image offers a glimpse into nineteenth-century British society. It reflects not only the love for cricket but also highlights elements of wealth, fashion, and cultural identity that were prevalent during that time. As we admire this remarkable piece of art from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how sports can unite people across different backgrounds and foster healthy competition among esteemed educational institutions like Cambridge and Oxford.
