Description

A child's drawing of a cricket match. There is a pitch surrounded by fence with a stick man batsman and stick men fielders. There are three trees on the right, and a horse (named 'Jeddah' in brackets) being ridden. In the distance is a cricket stand filled with spectators, and a batsman walking down the steps in the centre. The address is written on the building itself : 'Miss M. Forster, Southbord, Sutton, Surrey'. In the top right is a giant man, larger than the pavillion with a long thin pony tail. A speech bubble says 'Chin Chin China man'. Stamps in bottom right.
