EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fred Tate, a renowned Sussex and England cricketer from the late 19th century. Standing tall with his cricket whites on, Tate's determined face reflects his passion for the sport he excelled in. The image showcases him wearing a cap, which adds to his distinct British charm. Fred Tate was not just any cricketer; he left an indelible mark on the game. Known for his off-spin bowling skills, he played for Sussex Cricket Club from 1887 to 1905 and took an impressive total of 1331 first-class wickets during his career. While representing England in one Test match against Australia at Old Trafford in 1903, fate dealt a cruel blow as England lost by a mere three runs, resulting in them losing both the series and the coveted Ashes trophy. This portrait is part of The Book of Cricket: A Gallery of Famous Players edited by CB Fry and published by George Newnes Ltd around 1899. It serves as a tribute to Fred Tate's sporting prowess during Victorian times when cricket held immense popularity across Britain. Preserved through time, this monochrome photograph allows us to appreciate not only Tate's physicality but also offers insight into sportsmanship values that transcend generations. As we gaze upon this historic image today, we are reminded of Fred Tate's contribution to cricketing history and how he continues to inspire future players with his dedication and skill on the pitch.
