EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of W. W. Read, a renowned English cricketer from the late 19th century. Published in 1895 by Hudson and Kearns, this print is a true testament to the artistry of English photography during that era. W. W. Read stands tall in his cricket whites, exuding confidence and determination as he prepares to bat on an unknown cricket ground. His full-length figure showcases his athletic build, while his distinctive moustache adds a touch of character to his portrait. With England's cap proudly perched atop his head, Read epitomizes the spirit of a dedicated batsman ready to take on any challenge thrown at him. The attention to detail captured by the photographer allows us to appreciate every aspect of this legendary sportsman's appearance. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exceptional cricketer but also a snapshot of sporting history itself. This photograph serves as a reminder of the timeless allure and enduring legacy left behind by athletes like W. W. Read. Displayed in private collections today, this remarkable piece continues to inspire admiration for both its subject matter and its artistic merit. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still marvel at this extraordinary portrayal of one man's dedication and passion for the sport that defined him - cricket.
