EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of cricket with this charming Good Luck card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The vintage print features two elegantly crafted cricket bats, their wooden handles wrapped in red ribbon, standing tall against a lush green backdrop of a cricket pitch. The bats, with their distinctive shape and curved handles, exude an air of sophistication and grace. A red leather cricket ball lies at the foot of the bats, adding a touch of authenticity to the scene. The pièce de résistance, however, is the meticulously cut-out wicket, complete with three stumps and two bails, nestled between the bats. The intricate details of the wicket, with its thin, curved bars and the tiny, textured bails, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the printmaker. The Good Luck card, with its rustic charm and sporting theme, would have been a cherished keepsake during the late 1800s. The card's shape, with its rounded edges and ornate border, adds to its antique appeal. Whether it was used to wish a friend success on the cricket field or to brighten up a Victorian drawing room, this Good Luck card is a delightful reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of a game of cricket.
