EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant pose and concentrated expression of Harris, the renowned Kent and England cricketer, taken in the year 1864. Lord Harris, as he was later known, was a significant figure in the history of cricket, contributing to the game both as a player and an administrator. Born on March 2, 1820, Harris began his cricket career in the early 1840s and went on to play for Kent County Cricket Club for over two decades. His impressive performances on the field earned him the nickname 'The Old Master' and made him one of the most respected cricketers of his time. This photograph, taken during Harris' prime years, showcases his impeccable technique and focus. The crisp white uniform, the polished leather ball, and the lush green field all add to the authenticity of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era of cricket. Harris' influence on the game extended beyond his playing days. He served as the President of Marylebone Cricket Club from 1880 to 1884 and was instrumental in the formation of the County Championship, which remains the most prestigious domestic competition in English cricket. This photograph is a testament to Harris' enduring legacy in the sport. It provides a glimpse into the history of cricket and the evolution of the game, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of cricket memorabilia or historical photographs. The image, produced in 1925, is a beautiful print from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions of cricket and the remarkable figures who have shaped its development over the years.
