EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "A Quick Single in Cricket," is a stunning representation of the agility and strategy involved in the beloved sport. Created by the talented hand of George Derville Rowlandson around the turn of the 20th century, circa 1905, this work of art transports us back in time to an era when the gentlemen's game held the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide. The batsman in the foreground, with a determined look on his face, is in the midst of executing a quick single. His partner, standing at the non-striker's end, is alert and poised, ready to take off at a moment's notice. The fielders, with their focused expressions and outstretched gloves, are hot on their heels, attempting to prevent the run. Rowlandson's masterful use of line, shade, and color brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of the game and the tension that comes with it. The intricate details, from the creases in the players' trousers to the stitching on the cricket ball, add depth and authenticity to the image. This beautiful illustration is part of the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a testament to the enduring popularity of cricket and the beauty of the game, both then and now. Whether you're a cricket enthusiast or simply appreciate the artistry of a well-crafted illustration, this print is sure to be a welcome addition to any collection.
