EDITORS COMMENTS
Cuthbert James Burnup (1875-1960), a multi-talented sportsman of the early 20th century, is captured in this photo print. Known for his prowess in both cricket and football, Burnup's career took an unexpected turn as he failed to secure international recognition despite his immense potential. In this portrait, taken by Bowden Bros, we see Burnup dressed in traditional cricketing attire - donning protective clothing including pads and headgear. His focused gaze suggests the determination that fueled his success on the field. The postcard format hints at the era's communication methods, with Burnup's occupation as a postal service worker adding an intriguing layer to his story. While renowned as a Kent cricketer, it was Burnup's skills on the football pitch that earned him recognition as an English international player. However, fate denied him further opportunities to represent his country at either sport. This monochrome image not only captures Cuthbert James Burnup's physical appearance but also serves as a reminder of the untapped potential and unfulfilled dreams of many talented athletes throughout history. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on those who never received their deserved accolades despite their undeniable talent.
