EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Dr WG Grace, an iconic figure in English cricket history. Painted by WA Rouch around 1899, this artwork showcases Grace playing for the London County Cricket Club during his illustrious career. Considered by many as the greatest cricketer of all time, WG Grace's impact on the sport cannot be overstated. With a career spanning an astonishing 44 seasons from 1865 to 1908, he represented various teams including Gloucestershire, MCC, and England. His contribution to cricket was not only limited to his exceptional skills but also his influence in shaping the game itself. In this portrait, we see a distinguished man with a thick beard and wearing traditional cricket attire - striped cap and clothing associated with Victorian-era sportsmen. The intensity in his eyes reflects both determination and passion for the game that made him an icon. The artist beautifully captures Grace's presence on the field, emphasizing his powerful stance while holding a cricket bat ready for action. This image transports us back to a time when cricket was at its peak popularity in Britain. Displayed within "The Book of Cricket" edited by CB Fry and published by George Newnes Ltd. , this print serves as a testament to WG Grace's enduring legacy as one of England's most revered sports personalities. It is truly a remarkable piece that encapsulates both grace (no pun intended) and strength inherent in this extraordinary cricketer who left an indelible mark on British sporting history.
