EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a momentous sporting event that took place on the hallowed grounds of Oxford University. The year was 1884, and two formidable teams had gathered for an epic cricket match that would go down in history. In this meticulously detailed print, we see the distinguished members of The Oxford University Eleven facing off against their worthy opponents, The Australians. Every player is frozen in time, their intense focus palpable as they prepare to engage in a battle of skill and strategy. The composition beautifully showcases the camaraderie between these talented athletes, with each individual exuding confidence and determination. From Captain W. Midwinter's commanding presence to Mr. J. H Brain's unwavering resolve, it is clear that both sides are prepared to give their all. As spectators observe from the sidelines, including Manager A. C Bannerman and Umpire H. V Page, anticipation fills the air. These men embody not only athletic prowess but also sportsmanship and respect for one another's abilities. This remarkable engraving serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and excellence found within sports history. It immortalizes a clash between two legendary teams whose names have become synonymous with cricket greatness. Now preserved within a private collection, this print allows us to relive a significant moment when talent met opportunity on an English field – forever etching its memory into our collective consciousness.
