EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a historic moment in British politics. The image captures an unexpected scene, as Peers and Members of Parliament gather at the iconic Westminster Cricket Grounds to engage in a spirited match against their counterparts from Westminster School. The House of Commons and the House of Lords, usually known for their intense debates and political rivalries, set aside their differences on this sunny day in June 1922. Lord Gainsford, depicted on the right side of the photograph, confidently steps onto the field with Captain Metcalfe by his side. Both men are ready to showcase their cricketing skills while representing their respective teams. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious matters of state, there is room for camaraderie and friendly competition among those who shape our nation's destiny. Preserved by Central News, this Europeana photography gem offers us a glimpse into an era when politicians could find common ground outside the walls of Parliament. As we admire this remarkable piece captured during the 20th century, let us appreciate how it reflects both unity and diversity within our democratic system – where even adversaries can come together for moments of leisurely enjoyment away from official duties.
