A Captivating Clash of Creativity: The 1905 Cricket Match between Actors and Authors at Lords This enchanting illustration transports us back in time to the one-day cricket match held at the hallowed Lords Cricket Ground in June 1905. The unique encounter pitted actors against authors in a friendly yet competitive spirit. The actors ultimately emerged victorious, winning by 8 wickets and 7 runs. In this image, we see several notable figures from the world of literature and theatre. Clockwise from the top left, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), creator of the iconic Sherlock Holmes, is shown losing his wicket for a mere 2 runs. C. Aubrey Smith (1863-1948), an accomplished actor and cricketer, is bowling with determination. E.W. Hornung (1866-1921), author of the Raffles stories, looks up to the sky, perhaps in anticipation of good fortune. R. Evett and Kenneth Douglas are seen fielding with focus and intensity. Gerald Du Maurier (1854-1934), an actor and the father of Daphne du Maurier, and V. O'Connor are making the winning run, their faces filled with excitement and elation. Oscar Asche (1872-1937), a popular actor and playwright, is bowling with a fierce expression. Haydn Coffin (1864-1939), an actor and cricketer, is attempting to field while keeping his hair tidy. At the centre of the image, Major Philip Trevor and Leo Trevor (1870-1968) are reminiscent of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. This historical illustration, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a delightful glimpse into the past, showcasing the camaraderie and friendly rivalry between actors and authors on the cricket field.
