This print captures the essence of a traditional Ladies county stoolball match at Horsham, Kent versus Sussex. The focal point of the image is Miss Edgson Wright, the skilled captain of the Kent team, as she confidently takes her position to bat. Her determination and focus are evident in her poised stance and steady grip on the wooden stoolball bat. The photograph transports us back to 27 July 1929, allowing us to witness a moment frozen in time from the vibrant era of the roaring twenties. The monochrome filter adds an air of nostalgia, emphasizing both the timeless nature of this beloved game and its historical significance. Located at 29 Broadwater Down in Tunbridge Wells, this iconic sporting event brought together players from different counties for a friendly yet competitive match. Stoolball enthusiasts from all walks of life gathered to cheer on their favorite teams and revel in this cherished pastime. Alfieri's skillful photography perfectly captures not only the action but also the atmosphere surrounding this exhilarating game. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to his talent as well as an enduring tribute to a bygone era when sportsmanship reigned supreme. As we admire this Europeana photography gem, let us appreciate how it encapsulates not just a simple game but also represents tradition, camaraderie, and pride for both Kentish locals and stoolball aficionados worldwide.
