EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Forward / Felix on the Bat" (Forward!) from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the mid-19th century, where the gentlemen's game of cricket was taking the British Isles by storm. The image, captured in 1845, depicts a determined cricketer named Felix, poised in a forward stance, ready to deliver a powerful hit. Cricket, an English sport that originated in the 16th century, had evolved significantly by the mid-1800s. The game, which was once played with a simple wooden staff and a ball made of various materials, had become more organized and regulated. The introduction of the bat, a long, flat piece of willow, revolutionized the way the game was played. It allowed batsmen to hit the ball further and with greater precision, adding an element of excitement and spectacle to the game. Felix, the cricketer in this photograph, embodies the spirit of innovation and determination that characterized the sport during this period. His focused expression and forward stance suggest that he is about to unleash a powerful hit, adding to the tension and anticipation of the moment. The crisp white shirt and baggy trousers he wears are typical of the cricket attire of the time, while the green grass and blue sky in the background provide a picturesque setting for the scene. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the history of cricket but also a testament to the enduring appeal of this beloved sport. It reminds us of the joy and excitement that comes from watching a skilled batsman take on the challenge of delivering a powerful hit, and the thrill of anticipation that comes with waiting for the ball to be bowled. With its rich historical significance and timeless appeal, "Forward / Felix on the Bat" (Forward!) is a must-have for any cricket enthusiast or history buff's collection.
