EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a moment frozen in time - The Gentlemen Cricket Team of 1895. Dressed in traditional late Victorian attire, these distinguished cricketers exude an air of sophistication and class as they pose for the camera. Among them are legendary players such as W.G. Grace and C.B. Fry, whose names are synonymous with the sport of cricket.
The image transports us back to a bygone era, when cricket was not just a game but a way of life for many English gentlemen. The team's camaraderie and sportsmanship are evident in their relaxed yet poised stance, reflecting the values of fair play and gentlemanly conduct that were integral to the spirit of cricket during this period.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we can't help but marvel at the timeless elegance and grace of these Edwardian cricketers. Their dedication to the sport is palpable, reminding us of a simpler time when cricket was played for love of the game rather than commercial gain.
This print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is a precious glimpse into England's sporting heritage, capturing a moment when cricket was more than just a pastime - it was a passion shared by gentlemen who embodied the true spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
