EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Dr WG Grace, an English cricketer, in action for the London County Cricket Club around 1899. Regarded as possibly the greatest cricketer of all time, WG Grace's illustrious career spanned an impressive 44 seasons from 1865 to 1908. Representing Gloucestershire, London County Cricket Club, MCC, and England, he left an indelible mark on the sport. The artist behind this remarkable colorized print is WA Rouch. The image comes from The Book of Cricket - a Gallery of Famous Players edited by CB Fry and published by George Newnes Ltd in London. In this portrait-like photograph, we see Dr WG Grace standing confidently with his cricket bat in hand. His bearded face exudes determination and wisdom earned through years of experience on the field. Dressed in traditional cricket whites adorned with striped detailing and wearing a cap that represents his country proudly. This image transports us back to Victorian England when cricket was at its peak popularity. It serves as a testament to not only WG Grace's exceptional skills but also his status as an icon within British sports history. The print collector has beautifully colorized this historical gem while preserving its authenticity and charm. A must-have for any cricket enthusiast or admirer of sporting legends like WG Grace himself.
