EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant and intricately designed invitation to the Ticket, Banks Cricket Club Dinner, held at the Bell Hotel in Leicester during the festive month of December in 1892, offers a glimpse into the past of Victorian-era social gatherings and the city's cricket culture. The green and cream color palette, adorned with holly and ivy, reflects the Christmas season, while the image of a cricketer holding a bat adds a sporty touch to the design. The Ticket, Banks Cricket Club was a prominent sports organization in Leicester during the late 1800s, and the annual dinner was an opportunity for members and their families to come together and celebrate the year's cricket achievements. The event was presided over by the club's president, Lawford, who is likely depicted in the image, standing proudly with a bat in hand. The Bell Hotel, a well-known establishment in Leicester, was a popular venue for such events due to its grandeur and central location. The dinner would have featured a delicious multi-course meal, lively conversation, and perhaps even some light-hearted cricket-related activities. This beautiful invitation is a reminder of the rich history of Leicester's cricket club and the social traditions of the late Victorian era. It invites us to imagine the excitement and anticipation of attending such an event and to appreciate the attention to detail and artistry that went into creating it.
