1. Title: "Walter Lees: A Cricketing Legend of Surrey and England in 1905" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Walter Lees, a renowned cricketer who graced the pitches of Surrey and England during the early 20th century. Dressed in the traditional cricket attire of the time, Lees is shown mid-bowl, poised to deliver a fast and accurate ball towards the batsman. The crease lines on the pitch are crisp and well-defined, while the outfield beyond is dotted with teammates and spectators, adding depth and context to the scene. Lees' impressive cricketing career began in 1898 when he made his debut for Surrey County Cricket Club. Over the next decade, he established himself as a formidable all-rounder, contributing significantly to Surrey's victories with both bat and ball. In 1903, he earned his first call-up to the English cricket team, making his Test debut against South Africa in Cape Town. Lees went on to represent England in 14 Tests, taking 35 wickets and scoring 351 runs. This photograph, taken in 1905, encapsulates the essence of a bygone era in cricket history. The simple yet powerful composition, combined with the rich historical context, makes it an invaluable addition to any collection dedicated to the sport or the history of Surrey County Cricket Club. Walter Lees' legacy extends beyond his impressive statistics and accolades. His dedication, skill, and sportsmanship continue to inspire cricketers and fans alike, making him a cherished figure in the annals of cricket history. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring impact on the game and the unwavering passion that drives it.
