EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 19th-century British cricket with its unique subject, C. Taylor, Esq. , in his dapper attire. The identity of the creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this remarkable image. In 1844, when this photograph was taken for the "Illustrated London News" it was a rarity to see a cricketer wearing a top hat while batting. This unconventional choice showcases Taylor's individuality and perhaps even his sense of humor. The engraving beautifully depicts Taylor in full length, standing confidently with his cricket bat held firmly in hand. His white clothing contrasts sharply against the dark background, emphasizing his importance as a sportsman during that era. As a member of the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), Taylor represents both tradition and excellence on the field. The Victorian concept of gentlemanly conduct is evident through his distinguished appearance and refined demeanor. This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century Britain's sporting culture and fashion trends. It transports us back to an era where newspapers like "Illustrated London News" played an essential role in documenting significant events and personalities. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate not only C. Taylor's contribution to cricket but also the artistry behind capturing such moments from our past.
