The Hambledon Cricket Club, founded in 1750, is renowned for its early dominance in the sport, and this image captures the team's victory against a strong All-England squad. The match was played on Broadhalfpenny Down, a picturesque location that has been a hub for cricket enthusiasts for centuries.

The All-England team, wearing darker attire, looks determined to make a comeback. Spectators, dressed in their finest clothing, are seen cheering and placing bets on the outcome of the game. Cricket, a sport that originated in Southeast Asia, had been gaining popularity in England since the 16th century.

The early matches were played with a simple set of rules and a ball made of cork and wool. This print is a testament to the rich history of cricket in Hampshire and England, and offers a glimpse into the past when the sport was still in its infancy.
