EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a series of sketches from 1890 by an English Cavalry Officer depicting a game of cricket played between an Indian College and British Officers in India. The correspondent who sent in the account of this match chose to remain anonymous, providing little detail about the location or specifics of the game. The Illustrated London News editor noted that there was a touch of caricature in their depiction of the Indian players, but hoped it would be taken in good humor.
The Indian College involved was given the pseudonym The Progress College of Arts and Sciences, adding an air of mystery to this intriguing piece of history. Despite the lack of information provided by the correspondent, these sketches offer a glimpse into a momentous occasion where cultures collided on the cricket field.
