Hunloke largely saved Eton from defeat. Heres seen being mobbed by what is basically a small number of well-dressed spectators. The security seems rather over the top considering the occasion and the appearance of the well-to-do crowd

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1925, immortalizes a pivotal moment in the storied history of the Eton versus Harrow cricket match at the hallowed Lords Cricket Ground. The image showcases the intense excitement and social grandeur of the event, as the top picture displays J.P.T. Boscawen, a prominent cricketer from Eton College, being chaired aloft in triumph after his heroic stand with H.P. Hunloke saved Eton from an almost certain defeat. The scene is one of jubilation, with a small but passionate crowd of well-dressed spectators surging forward to celebrate the victory. The 1925 season was a significant one for this storied rivalry, as the two prestigious institutions brought their best players to the pitch, vying for supremacy in the sporting arena. The atmosphere at Lords was electric, filled with the anticipation and excitement that comes with witnessing a high-stakes match between two esteemed schools. Despite the festive and seemingly carefree nature of the occasion, the security presence in the photograph appears rather overbearing. The uniformed men, standing rigidly in the background, serve as a reminder of the strict order that underpinned society during the 1920s. This juxtaposition of the joyous scene on the pitch and the formal, regimented security presence adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the image. This photograph not only captures the essence of the Eton versus Harrow cricket match but also offers a glimpse into the social and historical context of the time. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket as a sport and the rich tapestry of traditions and rivalries that have shaped its history.
