EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1811 in Newington Green, Islington, London. It captures a momentous occasion - a ladies cricket match that was truly ahead of its time. In an era when women's participation in sports was limited, this image showcases their determination to break barriers and challenge societal norms. The scene unfolds in a picturesque park setting, with spectators eagerly watching the game unfold. The women are seen running on the field, fully immersed in the competition. Their attire reflects the fashion of the early 19th century - long dresses and bonnets - yet their enthusiasm for the sport shines through. Published as part of "Imperial Cricket" edited by P. F Warner and published by The London and Counties Press Association Ltd. , this photograph serves as a testament to female empowerment through sports during this period. It is a reminder that even centuries ago, women were capable of defying expectations and pursuing their passions. As we gaze upon this monochrome image from over a century ago, we are transported into an era where cricket became more than just a pastime; it became an avenue for women to showcase their skills and prove themselves equal on the playing field. This remarkable snapshot offers us insight into both history's progressions and timeless human spirit.
