EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Somersetshire Cricket Team in 1897, a time when the sport of cricket was at the height of its popularity in England during the late Victorian era. The team, composed of eleven distinguished gentlemen, is seen here in their formal attire, exuding an air of sophistication and camaraderie. The players are dressed in striped blazers, a common uniform for cricket teams during this period, and some wear straw boaters to shield themselves from the sun. Boaters, a popular summer hat during the 1890s, were often worn by cricketers to keep cool while playing under the sun. The team's captain, likely standing in the middle, wears a white shirt, tie, and a badge on his blazer, signifying his leadership role. The other team members, with their focused expressions and determined body language, are ready to take on their opponents with their cricket bats and gloves at the ready. The photograph was taken against a lush green backdrop, with the sun casting long shadows, adding to the serene and picturesque setting. The team's cricket equipment is scattered around them, further emphasizing their readiness for the game. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of cricket during the late Victorian era. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the game, and the enjoyment and camaraderie that comes with being part of a team.
