EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the intense excitement of a historic La Crosse Match played at Kennington Oval, London in the 19th century. The image showcases two formidable teams, North of England against South, battling it out on the field with their lacrosse sticks held high. In the foreground, we see the determined field captain orchestrating his team's strategy as he skillfully makes a pass towards his teammate. The players' agility and precision are evident as they navigate through this fast-paced game. The atmosphere is electric, with spectators eagerly watching from all sides of the oval. Their faces reflect both anticipation and awe at witnessing such an enthralling sporting event. The artist has beautifully captured every detail of this historical moment - from the players' uniforms to their focused expressions - transporting us back to that Saturday in April 1883 when these rival teams clashed on English soil. This print serves as a testament to not only the popularity but also the significance of lacrosse during that era. It reminds us of how sports have always brought people together, creating moments of camaraderie and competition that transcend time. Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this engraving continues to inspire admiration for both its artistic merit and its portrayal of an important chapter in sporting history.
