EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print titled 'Charity Cricket Match at Ellens Rudgwick, West Sussex, England, ' we are transported back to the summer of 1937. The image showcases a delightful scene filled with spectators eagerly watching the match unfold on a sunny day. Amongst the crowd, we spot Captain Lawford and Mr & Mrs Carroll Gibbons, prominent figures of their time. Intriguingly, amidst the excitement of the cricket match, our attention is drawn to a musician and band leader who stands out from the rest. Puffing on his cigarette casually, he exudes an air of effortless coolness as he entertains the crowd with his melodic tunes. His presence adds an extra layer of charm to this charity event aimed at raising funds for a noble cause. The composition beautifully captures rows of chairs neatly arranged around the field, providing comfort for those enjoying this sporting spectacle. It's heartwarming to witness how sport can bring people together for philanthropic endeavors even during times marked by uncertainty between two world wars. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that despite challenging circumstances faced during that era - both socially and politically - communities still found solace in coming together through sportsmanship and charitable acts. Between The Wars has expertly preserved this moment in history through their lens.
