EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of English cricketer, Edward Maurice Grace, also known as E.M. Grace, brother of the legendary W.G. Grace. Born on March 21, 1841, in Gloucester, England, E.M. Grace was an essential figure in the world of cricket, following in the footsteps of his older brother, W.G. Grace, who is widely regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time. The image, taken in 1911, showcases E.M. Grace in his cricketing attire, with a confident and focused expression. The photograph is a testament to his dedication and passion for the sport, which he shared with his brother. E.M. Grace made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire in 1863, and went on to play for the county until 1883. He was a reliable all-rounder, contributing with both bat and ball, and was known for his accurate medium-fast bowling and solid batting. Despite the shadow cast by his illustrious brother, E.M. Grace carved out a successful career in cricket, playing a crucial role in Gloucestershire's victories. He also represented England in two Tests against Australia in 1878, scoring an impressive 123 runs in three innings. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of cricket and the Grace family's significant impact on the sport. E.M. Grace's legacy extends beyond the cricket field, as he was also an influential figure in the administration of the game, serving as the president of the Marylebone Cricket Club from 1905 to 1913. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of cricket and the enduring influence of the Grace brothers on the sport.
