Cricket Match upon the Goodwin Sands, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Cricket Match upon the Goodwin Sands, 1854. Evening game on the Kent coast. " The Goodwins, " which have been from time immemorial associated with peril and destruction, have just been the scene of exhilarating sport...After walking about a quarter of a mile, a place sufficiently high and dry was found; when the match commenced, and continued until nearly sunset...The Sands were intersected in every direction with narrow but deep gullies, or, as they are termed by the sailors, "swatches, " with swift running streams, into which it was dangerous to step. A sad association of ideas crowded the mind on looking over this awfully melancholy place. Here thousands of gallant fellows have been entombed - here millions of property have been engulfed; and here was a picture contrasting vividly with the present scene of pastime'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
