EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mr P Perrin, a prominent Essex cricketer from the late 19th century. Captured by artist WA Rouch in 1899, this portrait immortalizes Percy Perrin (1876-1945), who dedicated his career to playing for Essex County Cricket Club from 1896 until 1928. Perrin's remarkable achievements on the cricket field are highlighted in this image. With an impressive tally of 66 centuries, he stands as one of the top players who never had the opportunity to represent England at Test level. His dedication and skill make him a true sportsman and a celebrated figure within British cricket history. The print is part of The Book of Cricket, a Gallery of Famous Players edited by CB Fry and published by George Newnes Ltd in London around the same time. This monochrome portrayal captures Perrin wearing traditional cricket whites, complete with his cap and headgear. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back to Victorian England when cricket was not only a sport but also an embodiment of national pride. It serves as a reminder that even without international recognition, individuals like Percy Perrin left an indelible mark on their county teams and contributed significantly to the rich tapestry of English cricketing heritage.
