EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the early 20th century. In this image titled " (9) The innings shall commence after the ground has been swept" we are presented with a scene that exudes both humor and chaos. The setting is aboard a ship amidst rough seas, as indicated by the stormy backdrop and souwester-clad figures. A village cricket match seems to have taken an unexpected turn due to the inclement weather conditions. The deck serves as an improvised cricket field, complete with stumps and bats scattered haphazardly. Amidst the commotion, one cannot help but notice a sense of lightheartedness prevailing among those present. Some players appear slightly seasick while others struggle to maintain their balance on the unsteady surface. It is evident that this game has been abandoned due to nature's interference. Adding another layer of intrigue, an advertisement for Perrier water can be seen in the background - a subtle nod towards commercialism even in such unconventional circumstances. This vintage print from 1910 offers us not only a glimpse into historical sporting practices but also provides entertainment through its humorous depiction of ordinary individuals facing extraordinary challenges at sea. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this photograph truly stands out as a testament to both artistry and storytelling prowess.
