EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the essence of Yorkshire Cricket in 1892, showcasing a true legend of the sport. The subject of this portrait is none other than Lord Hawke, Martin Bladen Hawke, 7th Baron Hawke (1860-1938), who captained the Yorkshire County Cricket Club for an impressive 28 seasons. Lord Hawke's remarkable leadership extended beyond his county team; he also led England in four test matches, emerging victorious in all of them. After retiring as a player, he continued to contribute to cricket by serving as a selector for the England team and holding the prestigious position of President of the MCC. The artist behind this caricature is Spy (Leslie Ward), known for his satirical illustrations published in Vanity Fair during that era. The attention to detail is evident from Lord Hawke's distinguished features - his moustache perfectly groomed and headgear adding an air of authority. Dressed impeccably in a jacket and blazer, Lord Hawke exudes sportsmanship and charisma through this portrait. His cricket bat and pads symbolize his dedication to the game that made him a revered figure both on and off the field. This chromolithograph print not only pays homage to one of cricket's greatest personalities but also serves as a testament to Victorian sporting culture. It encapsulates an era when cricket was at its peak popularity, with Lord Hawke standing tall as one of its most influential figures.
