EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of cricket history with the image of Alfred Pike, a renowned cricketer from Nottinghamshire, England, taken in the year 1862. The image showcases Pike in his prime, donning the traditional cricket attire of the era - a long-sleeved white shirt, striped trousers, and a straw boater hat. The background is adorned with lush greenery, adding to the serene and picturesque setting of a cricket match. Pike, born in 1836, was a prominent figure in the world of cricket during the mid-19th century. He made his first-class debut for Nottinghamshire in 1859 and went on to play for the county for over two decades. Known for his exceptional batting skills, Pike scored over 10,000 runs in his career, with a highest score of 211 not out against Yorkshire in 1867. This photograph, taken in 1862, captures Pike in his early cricketing years, showcasing his determination and focus as he prepares for a delivery. The image is a testament to the rich history of cricket in Nottinghamshire and the dedication of its players during the formative years of the sport. The photograph was taken over 50 years before the introduction of color photography, making it an invaluable historical document. The image, now preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of cricket and the enduring legacy of its early pioneers like Alfred Pike.
