EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a comical moment during a village cricket match. In this whimsical cartoon, created by Charles Crombie in 1910, we witness the chaos that ensues when a batsman is unexpectedly knocked over by the ball. As per the laws of cricket, when the ball touches the boundary it becomes dead. However, in this instance, it seems that even the umpire himself cannot escape being part of the boundary! With his top hat flying off and braces flailing in mid-air, he finds himself tumbling alongside the unfortunate batsman. The scene is filled with humor and lightheartedness as players on both teams react to this unexpected turn of events. The expressions on their faces range from surprise to amusement as they watch their teammate's misfortune unfold before them. This delightful illustration not only showcases Crombie's talent for capturing movement and action but also serves as an advertisement for Perrier water - subtly placed within the image itself. It adds an interesting historical context to this artwork while reminding us of how advertising has been integrated into various forms of media throughout history. Overall, "The Boundary" offers a charming glimpse into early 20th-century village cricket matches and reminds us that even in sports accidents can happen – sometimes with hilarious consequences!
