EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of "The English Lady Cricketers" in all their grace and skill. Created by Lucien Davis, a renowned artist from the late 19th to early 20th century, this print is a testament to his talent and attention to detail. In this historical image, we see a group of female cricketers dressed elegantly in traditional attire. Their long dresses and wide-brimmed hats add an air of sophistication to the game, contrasting with our modern perception of cricket as a predominantly male sport. The women are depicted mid-action, showcasing their batting skills with poise and determination. It's fascinating to witness how these ladies embraced sportsmanship at a time when it was considered unconventional for women to engage in such activities. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into history. It was originally created as an illustration for Percy Cross Standing's book "Cricket of To-Day and Yesterday" published around 1902. The combination of Davis' artistry and Standing's written account provides us with valuable insights into the evolution of cricket during that era. As we admire this print, let us celebrate the courage and resilience displayed by these trailblazing women who defied societal norms through their love for the game. They paved the way for future generations of female athletes, leaving behind an enduring legacy that continues to inspire us today.
