This print showcases a stunning stained glass window in the Long Room of the pavilion at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Completed in 1887, this exquisite piece of art depicts three legendary cricketers from Lancashire County Cricket Club - Albert Neilson Hornby, Dick Barlow, and Richard Pilling. Designed by Dick Barlow himself, who was not only a talented batsman and slow bowler for England and Lancashire but also featured on the right side of the window. On the left stands Albert Neilson Hornby, an esteemed cricket player for Lancashire from 1867 to 1899. Completing this trio is Richard Pilling, known as both a wicket keeper for Lancashire and England. The background of this magnificent artwork reveals the original separate pavilions that once graced Old Trafford ground. Interestingly, during its history, this remarkable stained glass window found itself residing in a house in Southport before being returned to its rightful place within the pavilion at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. A true testament to sporting heritage and history, this Victorian masterpiece captures not only the essence of cricket but also pays homage to these exceptional athletes who have made their mark on the sport. With intricate glazing techniques showcased throughout every detail of this window's design, it serves as a reminder of how sports can inspire beauty beyond just physical prowess.
