EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Hawke, the 7th Baron Hawke of Towton, is depicted in this caricature from 1926. Born as Martin Bladen Hawke on September 23, 1860, he was an esteemed English amateur cricketer and a major figure in the administration of the sport. Lord Hawke's cricketing career spanned several decades, and he is remembered for his significant contributions both on and off the field. In the image, he is shown wearing a grey top and a top hat, exuding an air of sophistication and authority. With a cigarette in hand and a playing card casually placed on the table before him, Lord Hawke presents an image of a man at ease, yet one who is deeply engaged in the game. The cubist-inspired style of the caricature adds an intriguing dimension to the portrait, making it a visually striking representation of Lord Hawke's character. The use of bold lines and geometric shapes creates a dynamic and modern feel, while the muted grey tones lend an understated elegance to the image. Lord Hawke's legacy in cricket extends beyond his playing days. He served as the President of the Marylebone Cricket Club from 1921 to 1925, and was instrumental in the development of the game both in England and internationally. His dedication to cricket and his leadership abilities made him a respected and influential figure in the sport's history. This caricature offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the life of Lord Hawke, a man who left an indelible mark on English cricket and continues to be remembered as a champion of the game.
