EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Johnny Briggs, a Lancashire and England cricketer from the late 19th century. The talented left-arm spin bowler is depicted in his cricket whites, exuding confidence and determination on the field. Johnny Briggs had an illustrious career that spanned over two decades, playing for Lancashire from 1879 to 1900. He holds the esteemed title of being the second highest wicket taker in the county's history, a testament to his exceptional skills. Furthermore, he made significant contributions to English cricket by representing his country in 33 test matches and becoming the first bowler ever to claim 100 test wickets. The artist behind this remarkable portrait is WA Rouch, whose attention to detail beautifully captures Briggs' sportsmanship and charisma. This print originates from "The Book of Cricket" edited by CB Fry and published by George Newnes Ltd in London around 1899. Briggs' distinctive Victorian attire adds an air of nostalgia to this image, while his proud expression reflects his dedication towards representing both club and country. As one gazes upon this photograph, it becomes evident why Johnny Briggs remains etched in cricketing history as a true sports personality who revolutionized spin bowling during his era.
