Rural sports, or, A cricket match extraordinary [graphic].

"The scene is a sloping field. The batswomen are running hard, while one of the field leaps to attempt a high catch; the wicket-keeper crouches behind the wicket, hands on knees. The players have petticoats kilted above the knee, bare heads, necks, and arms; they wear flat slippers, mostly 'en cothurne'. All the fielders look or run towards the ball; one has fallen with great display of leg; another, running headlong, trips over a dog. Eleven are playing, including those batting. Two girls sit together on the ground, one cutting notches on a stick to record the runs. Others stand near, one with a young man's arm round her waist. Spectators stand round the field. In the middle distance is a marquee with a flag: 'Jolly Cricketers'. Here, fashionably dressed men are entertaining the players; a very fat woman drains a bowl of punch, another sits on a man's knee. A girl descends from a donkey. Behind is a fashionable tandem. The scene is rural except for a smoking lime-kiln."--British Museum online catalogue
