EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blissful End to the Cricket Season at Folkestone, 1932. This evocative photograph captures the idyllic scene of the final week of the cricket season at the picturesque Cheriton Road ground in Folkestone, Kent, England, in 1932. The rolling South Downs in the background serve as a serene backdrop to the bustling activity below. During this Festival week, Kent, the host county, took a backseat as three intriguing three-day matches unfolded. The first featured an MCC Australian XI against The Rest of England, showcasing the best of international cricket. The second pitted an England XI against the formidable All India team, a precursor to the historic Test series between the two nations. The third and final encounter was a friendly Gentlemen vs. Players match, a tradition that added a touch of elegance and camaraderie to the proceedings. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to relive the excitement and anticipation that surrounded these matches. The lush green outfield, the pristine white uniforms, and the determined expressions on the players' faces all contribute to the sense of history and tradition that permeated the sport during that era. The Festival week at Folkestone in 1932 stands out as a significant moment in the annals of cricket history. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the game and the unique charm of the English countryside.
