Brief Description
Colour etching of a cricket match at Beaumont College, Berkshire. The game is taking place on a large, open field, and to the right is a pavilion with figures standing outside. In the foreground, several boys are watching from the boundary, some wearing cricket whites and blue striped blazers. The image shows a side-on view of the wicket. The school building, a brick, mock-Elizabethan structure designed by John Francis Bentley in 1888, is to the left of the composition. The image is surrounded by a plain border with the names of the publisher, printers and etcher in the lower section, along with a caption that reads "Beaumont _ 'Cricket field' _ looking towards the Beeches". The print is housed in a modern window mount of green and off-white marbled card. Originally framed in black and gold painted wooden frame.
