The Lobster, 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the remarkable talent and unique style of Digby Jephson. As a prominent figure in both Cambridge University and Surrey cricket teams, Jephson left an indelible mark on the sport during his time. This caricature, originally published in Vanity Fair on May 22nd, 1902, beautifully captures his distinctive appearance. Jephson's notable contribution to cricket lies in his mastery of lob bowling – a technique that was gradually fading away during the early 20th century. His dedication to this traditional form of bowling earned him great admiration among fans and fellow cricketers alike. In this portrait, we see Jephson donning his cricket whites with utmost pride. His face exudes confidence as he sports a well-groomed moustache beneath his headgear cap. The artist has skillfully captured every detail of Jephson's countenance, emphasizing not only his physical attributes but also hinting at the determination and passion that lie within. This chromolithograph print serves as a testament to Jephson's significant role in British cricket history. It transports us back to the Edwardian era when gentlemen like him showcased their sporting prowess with grace and finesse. As we admire "The Lobster" let us remember Digby Jephson as an exceptional sportsman who upheld tradition while leaving an enduring legacy for future generations of cricketers to cherish.
