The image showcases a large group of people gathered in England's picturesque landscape, eagerly watching this highly anticipated game unfold. Intricately sketched by Harry Furness and expertly engraved by Swain, every detail is brought to life in this stunning piece of art. The scene depicts a diverse crowd consisting of males and females, young and old alike, all dressed in their finest attire. Men donning top hats can be seen conversing while women elegantly hold umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun. The focal point of the image is a carriage or coach that serves as both transportation for some spectators and a box container for others. This mode of transport adds an air of sophistication to the occasion, emphasizing its significance as an annual event cherished by both Etonians and Harrovians. As we delve into history through this archival photograph, it becomes evident that cricket was not merely a sport but also an integral part of English culture during this era.
