EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Henry How, we are transported back to the 1950s, a time when cricket was more than just a sport; it was an event that brought communities together. The image captures the sheer excitement and determination of young boys as they go to great lengths to catch a glimpse of the England v Australia Ashes test match at the Oval on 19th August 1953. With their adventurous spirits in full swing, these children fearlessly climb lamp posts and scale high walls, all in pursuit of securing the best possible view. Their faces radiate pure joy and anticipation as they eagerly await every ball bowled. It is evident that cricket holds a special place in their hearts, transcending age barriers and societal norms. This photograph not only immortalizes the passion for cricket but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when children found delight in simple pleasures like watching live sports matches. It encapsulates an era where technology had yet to dominate our lives, allowing genuine connections with fellow spectators amidst shared cheers and gasps. Henry How's lens has beautifully captured both innocence and resilience within these young fans who were willing to go above and beyond for their beloved game. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back into history, reminding us of the timeless allure that sports hold over generations - even those too small to reach over tall walls or grasp onto street lamps.
