EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing the Cambridge University cricket XI of 1899. The artist, Stearn, skillfully portrays a group portrait of these distinguished gentlemen in their cricket whites. Among them stands Gilbert Jessop, the charismatic captain of the team, positioned front and center. The image exudes an air of elegance and tradition as these young men proudly represent their university and country through sport. Dressed in striped jackets and caps that epitomize British style at the time, they showcase both their athletic prowess and refined education. The composition is strikingly monochrome yet full of life as each player assumes his place either standing or sitting. Their serious expressions hint at the intensity with which they approach this beloved game. This photograph was originally featured in "The Book of Cricket" edited by CB Fry, a renowned sports personality of that era. It serves as a testament to not only the popularity but also the cultural significance attached to cricket during Victorian times. As we gaze upon this vintage print today, it transports us back to a bygone era when camaraderie on the field united individuals from diverse backgrounds under one common passion: cricket.
