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.
