EDITORS COMMENTS
A Good Hit - a sketch at the Eton and Harrow cricket match captures the exhilarating atmosphere of a 19th-century sporting event. This engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the passion and excitement surrounding this iconic match between two prestigious schools. The image transports us back to July 20,1872, as spectators fill the stands eagerly awaiting each play. The crowd is dressed in their finest attire, reflecting both the formality of the occasion and their enthusiasm for this beloved sport. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness every moment of anticipation on their faces. In the center of the composition, we see a batsman executing a powerful hit that sends the ball soaring through the air. The skillful stroke elicits cheers from both sides of supporters – Eton and Harrow – who are united in admiration for such talent on display. This print not only celebrates cricket as a sport but also highlights its role as entertainment for Victorian society. It serves as a reminder that even in times past, people found joy in gathering together to watch thrilling matches unfold. Through this historic artwork preserved within Bridgeman Images' collection, we can appreciate how sports have always had an incredible ability to unite communities and create lasting memories.
