EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary English cricketer Sir John Berry Hobbs, also known as Jack Hobbs. Taken in 1923 by an unknown creator, this image captures the essence of a true sporting icon. Hobbs, who played for Surrey from 1905 to 1934, left an indelible mark on the world of cricket. With his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication, he represented England in 61 test matches and became renowned for his remarkable achievements on the field. In May 1923, Hobbs achieved a momentous milestone when he scored his hundredth century in first-class cricket. This incredible feat solidified his status as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. By the end of his illustrious career, Hobbs had amassed a staggering total of 61,760 runs with an impressive record of 199 centuries. The photo is sourced from "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. in London back in 1935. It serves as a timeless tribute to Hobbs' extraordinary talent and enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this monochrome image capturing him mid-stroke with bat held high, we are transported back to a golden era where sportsmanship reigned supreme.
