EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Well played! - a sketch at a ladies cricket match, 1890" artist Edward Frederick Brewtnall transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a British summer in the late 19th century. The scene unfolds under the shade of a majestic tree, its branches reaching out like protective arms over the cricket pitch. Amidst nature's embrace, we witness an exhilarating game of cricket played by women dressed in fashionable Victorian attire. Their long skirts gracefully flow as they skillfully wield their cricket bats and send the ball soaring through the air. Spectators clad in elegant costumes surround them, their eyes fixed on every move with anticipation. The image captures not only the excitement of sport but also showcases society's changing attitudes towards women's participation in traditionally male-dominated activities. Applause fills the air as these pioneering female cricketers challenge societal norms and prove their prowess on the field. Brewtnall's masterful engraving technique brings life to each figure portrayed; their expressions reveal determination, passion, and joy all at once. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this significant moment when women stepped onto the cricket pitch with confidence and skill. This remarkable print from The Graphic serves as a testament to both historical progress and timeless beauty—a window into an era where sportsmanship intertwined with fashion against nature's backdrop.
