EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print, titled "Repton, Oxford & Somerset, 1903" showcases the esteemed English amateur cricketer Lionel Charles Hamilton Palairet. Educated at Repton School, Palairet's talent on the cricket field was undeniable. Representing both Somerset and Oxford University teams, he left an indelible mark in the world of sports. The artist behind this remarkable portrait is Sir Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Leslie Ward or simply Spy. Known for his caricatures and satirical illustrations in Vanity Fair magazine during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ward captured Palairet's essence with great finesse. In this full-length portrait, Palairet stands confidently dressed in his cricket attire - a testament to his dedication to the sport. His blazer proudly displays the colors of Britain while his cap adorns his head with pride. The lithograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of his clothing and accessories. Palairet's contribution to English cricket cannot be overstated; he played Test cricket for England twice in 1902 - a true honor for any sportsman. This image serves as a timeless tribute to an exceptional athlete who brought glory to both country and team. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from London in 1903, we are reminded of Lionel Charles Hamilton Palairet's legacy as one of England's finest cricketers.
