A Regal Game of Cricket - Lord Willingdon, the Crown Governor of Bombay, Engages in a Leisurely Match in Mumbai, 1916

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for Lord Willingdon, the esteemed Crown Governor of Bombay (now Mumbai), India, during his tenure from 1914 to 1919. The image, taken in 1916, portrays Lord Willingdon in a relaxed setting, engaged in the quintessentially British pastime of cricket. Lord Willingdon, born as Freeman Thomas Nelson Freeman-Major, was a major in the British Army before being appointed as the Governor. He is depicted here in his formal attire, complete with the insignia of his rank, including the Order of the Star of India and the Order of the Indian Empire. The Governor's regal bearing is evident, as he focuses intently on the cricket ball in his hand, ready to deliver a pitch. The photograph also features a loyal canine companion by Lord Willingdon's side, adding a charming touch to the scene. The backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky further emphasizes the tranquility and serenity of the moment. Cricket was a beloved sport among the British community in India, and the game served as a means of bonding between the colonial rulers and the local population. Lord Willingdon's participation in this leisurely activity underscores his connection to the culture and people of Bombay, making this photograph an intriguing glimpse into the social fabric of the time. This image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, is a testament to the enduring allure of cricket and the rich history of British colonial rule in India.
