1. Title: "Maurice Read: A Surrey Cricketing Legend of the 1920s" This black-and-white photograph showcases the focused determination of Maurice Read (1889-1961), a renowned cricketer who graced the Surrey County Cricket Club pitch during the 1920s. The image, captured in 1929, encapsulates the essence of a bygone era in cricket history. Maurice Read, hailing from the historic year of 1889, was a crucial figure in Surrey's cricketing successes. His career spanned over two decades, with his debut in 1910 and retirement in 1931. This photograph, however, captures him at the height of his form and popularity. The image reveals Read's unwavering concentration as he prepares for a delivery. His strong, athletic build and poised stance exude confidence and readiness. The crisp, white cricket ball is clutched firmly in his right hand, while his left hand rests on his hip, ready to deliver the ball with precision and power. The backdrop of the photograph is a lush, green cricket ground, dotted with spectators eagerly watching the match unfold. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the natural beauty of the setting. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Surrey County Cricket Club and the enduring legacy of Maurice Read. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple joy of the game was the focus, and the spirit of competition was at its peak. Maurice Read's story is a reminder of the passion and dedication that has fueled cricket for generations. This photograph is not just a visual representation of a bygone era in cricket history, but a tribute to the game's enduring charm and the indomitable spirit of its players.
