EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Willingdon, the former Viceroy of India, arrives at Lords Cricket Ground with Major G. G. Horton for the highly anticipated opening of the Eton-Harrow cricket match. The print captures a historic moment on 9th July 1937, during the tumultuous period between the wars. In this black and white monochrome image from TopFoto. co. uk's collection, Lord Willingdon exudes an air of importance and elegance as he steps onto the hallowed grounds. The annual two-day match is not just any cricket game; it represents a fierce rivalry between Harrow and Eton schools that dates back to 1805. Harrow desperately seeks to break their losing streak since 1908 against their formidable rivals, Eton. The tension in the air is palpable as players prepare to battle it out on this prestigious stage. This photograph showcases not only a significant sporting event but also offers glimpses into fashion trends of that era. Lord Willingdon's impeccable attire reflects his status and exemplifies early twentieth-century style. Preserved by Planet News press photography and now part of Europeana Photography collection, this image serves as a window into history - capturing both cultural significance and personal stories within its frame.
