EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 1888 print of Warwickshire Cricket Club at the County Ground, Edgbaston, Birmingham. The sketch beautifully captures the essence of cricket's golden era, showcasing the iconic main pavilion at the heart of the ground. Surrounding it are notable players from Warwickshire County, their talent and dedication etched on their faces. But what steals the spotlight is a fascinating scene unfolding in front of W. G. Grace himself – a crowd eagerly shaking hands with one of cricket's greatest legends. However, upon closer inspection, it seems that they may be mobbing him instead! This intriguing twist adds an element of humor to an otherwise dignified moment. The image transports us to a bygone era when boater hats were in vogue and boundaries were marked by ropes rather than fences. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition that surrounds Warwickshire Cricket Club and its passionate supporters. This historic photograph is a testament to both sporting excellence and social interaction during those times. It serves as a reminder that even legendary figures like W. G. Grace could find themselves amidst playful chaos within such adoring crowds. A must-have for any cricket enthusiast or lover of historical moments captured through artistry, this print from Mary Evans Prints Online brings alive the spirit of Warwickshire CC in all its glory.
