EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Essex Cricket Team in 1898, showcasing the elegance and camaraderie of the players during the late Victorian era. The team, dressed in their distinctive striped shirts and blazers, exudes a sense of pride and confidence as they gather for a group portrait. The eleven cricketers, with their well-groomed facial hair and polished shoes, embody the athletic and dapper image of the sport during this time. The photograph also highlights the fashion trends of the 1890s, with several players wearing straw boaters and boaters adorned with ribbons. Boaters were a popular accessory for both leisure and sporting activities during this period, adding a touch of style and sophistication to the team's appearance. The Essex Cricket Team, formed in 1878, was a prominent force in English cricket during the late 19th century. They competed in the County Championship and other major domestic competitions, attracting large crowds and generating significant public interest. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these talented cricketers and the sporting culture of the late Victorian era. The crisp, clear image, captured by an unidentified photographer, has been preserved and restored by Mary Evans Picture Library, allowing us to appreciate the history and charm of this remarkable team and era.
