This print takes us back to the year 1912, capturing a historic moment at The Parks, cricket ground of Oxford University. The artist duo Hills and Saunders have skillfully depicted this iconic location in all its glory. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when education, sportsmanship, and country pursuits were held in high regard. The scene showcases the grandeur of the pavilion standing proudly amidst lush green fields. It is evident that this hallowed ground has witnessed countless matches played by talented cricketers who represented both Oxford University and Britain with great pride. A sense of camaraderie fills the air as players engage in an intense match, displaying their skills as fielders and batsmen. The monochrome effect adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the timeless nature of cricket as a sport deeply rooted in British culture. This snapshot from Imperial Cricket offers us a glimpse into an era where young students embraced not only academic excellence but also physical prowess on these very grounds.
