EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Hastings Cricket Week, Sketches in the Neighbourhood" takes us back to a bygone era of English history. Created by Louis Wain in 1893, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere surrounding the renowned cricket event. The scene is set against a backdrop of historic landmarks such as Pevensey Castle, Battle Abbey, Bodiam Castle, and Hurstmonceux Castle. These majestic fortifications stand tall and proud, symbolizing the rich heritage of Sussex. Intriguingly detailed sketches capture various aspects of life during this festive week. The Sackville Hotel in Bexhill-on-Sea serves as a hub for players and spectators alike. A gateway leads us through bustling streets filled with excited onlookers eagerly anticipating the matches. Wain's meticulous engraving technique brings each element to life – from the intricate architecture to the animated figures that populate these surroundings. His work for The Illustrated London News showcases his talent for capturing both grandeur and everyday moments with equal finesse. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it transports us back over a century ago when cricket was not just a sport but an occasion that brought communities together. It reminds us of our shared cultural heritage and invites reflection on how traditions evolve yet remain cherished throughout time. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Wain's skillful artistry while immersing ourselves in an enchanting moment from history.
