EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Worcestershire County Cricket Club XI in 1899, marking their entry into the prestigious County Championship. The team stands proudly, exuding a sense of camaraderie and determination. Each player is dressed in traditional cricket whites, donning caps and headdresses that epitomize the spirit of English sportsmanship. The Victorian era setting adds an air of nostalgia to this group portrait. The men are seen both standing and sitting, showcasing their individuality while united under a common goal – to excel at the gentleman's game of cricket. Their striped jackets and blazers further emphasize their affiliation with Worcestershire county. Artist Bennett skillfully brings out each player's unique personality through his monochrome depiction. This print is part of "The Book of Cricket" edited by CB Fry, which celebrates famous players from across England. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back to a time when cricket was more than just a sport; it represented national pride and identity. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that Worcestershire County Cricket Club holds within British sporting history.
