Hows That?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a captivating and innovative illustration by the renowned British artist William Heath Robinson, presents an intriguing take on the classic summer game of cricket. This unique depiction, created in 1925, offers a fresh perspective on the beloved sport, bringing a touch of whimsy and imagination to the seaside experience. The illustration, titled "Clock Cricket - A new and exciting summer game for the seaside", showcases a clock-themed cricket match unlike any other. The players, dressed in crisp white cricket attire, are poised and ready, their focus intently on the unusual cricket ball suspended above them by a giant clock hand. The pitch, instead of the usual grassy expanse, is a sandy beach, complete with seaside paraphernalia such as deckchairs, sun umbrellas, and beach balls in the background. Heath Robinson's masterful use of detail and wit is evident in the various clock mechanisms that control the game. The batsman's bat is connected to a series of gears and pulleys, while the wicket-keeper's gloves are adorned with clock faces. The scoring mechanism is a complex network of cogs and levers, adding to the game's intrigue and charm. This historical illustration, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, is a testament to the British artist's creativity and inventiveness. The 6th import from ILN, published on the 7th of December in 1925, has remained an exciting and unique piece of cricket history, showcasing the imaginative spirit of the game and the joy it brings to people. With its intricate details and delightful concept, "Hows That?" continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the endless possibilities that lie within the world of cricket and beyond.
