EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the year 1889, presents the Elland Cricket Club in their vintage glory. The image, taken during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras, offers a glimpse into the rich history of cricket in Elland, a small town located in the Calderdale region of Yorkshire, England. The team members, dressed in their crisp white cricket attire, exude a sense of camaraderie and determination as they gather around a wooden table, likely for a team meeting or strategy discussion. The captain, standing proudly at the head of the table, holds a leather cricket ball in one hand and a bat in the other, symbolizing his leadership and readiness for the game. The background of the photograph reveals a quaint, open-air pavilion, adorned with wooden beams and ivy, which served as the team's sanctuary during matches. The lush, green cricket pitch stretches out behind the pavilion, dotted with spectators who have come to support their beloved team. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the social and sporting culture of Elland during the late 19th century. The use of a lantern slide further adds to the image's antique charm, transporting us back in time to an era of simplicity, community, and passion for the game of cricket.
