Know Your Cricket Terms Cartoon

Cartoon-"Know Your Cricket Terms". Black and white, printed, about 1940.

Series of sketches in black and white that provide a salacious take on commonly used cricket terms. A ' maiden over' depicts a comely woman taking a fall; ' caught in slips' depicts a man barging in to a room full of women dressed in only their underwear.

Documents a history of humour used in cartooning. This humour is still evident in contemporary newspaper cartooning in Australia, particularly to deliver critiques on political issues.
