EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures F. Root, a Worcestershire cricketer, in 1928. The creator of this image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the photograph's allure. Taken from "Willss Cigarettes - A Series of 50 Cricketers" published by W. D. & H. O. Wills in London during the same year, this picture is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of cricket in Britain. In this portrait, F. Root stands confidently before the camera with a direct gaze that exudes determination and strength. Dressed impeccably in a blazer adorned with bold stripes and a matching blue bowler hat, he epitomizes the stylish attire of English gentlemen during the 1920s. The green background hints at his country roots while emphasizing his connection to nature as well as his affiliation with Worcestershire County Cricket Club. Fred Root's contribution to cricket is celebrated through this cigarette card collectible that was popular among sports enthusiasts at that time. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident how deeply rooted cricket was within British society during this era. This photograph not only immortalizes one man's passion for sport but also serves as a reminder of England's love affair with cricket throughout history.
