EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in cricket history, featuring the esteemed Hon. Alfred Lyttelton (1857-1913) keeping wicket during a match in 1884. At the time, Lyttelton was a prominent figure in English cricket, having made his first-class debut for Surrey in 1876 and later captaining the English team in 1882. The image, taken at Lyttelton's home ground in Lyttelton, Hampshire, showcases the dedication and focus of the cricketer as he prepares to receive the ball behind the wicket. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it highlights the evolution of the wicket-keeping position in cricket. Prior to this period, wicket-keeping was often considered a secondary role, with batsmen or fielders taking turns to perform the task. However, with the emergence of specialist wicket-keepers like Lyttelton, the position began to gain greater recognition and importance. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of cricket during the late 19th century. The players are dressed in their cricket whites, and the scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket and the passion that has driven generations of players and fans alike. This photograph, taken by V. Fair for Mary Evans Picture Library, is an invaluable addition to any cricket archive or collection. It not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also sheds light on the rich history of the game and the pivotal role played by Hon. Alfred Lyttelton in its development.
