EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Lillywhite, a prominent English cricketer of the 19th century. The portrait, taken around 1850 by an unknown creator, captures Lillywhite's dignified presence and remarkable accomplishments in the world of cricket. Despite not making his debut at Lords until the age of 35 in 1827, he went on to become one of England's most celebrated players. Lillywhite's exceptional year came in 1844 when he astounded spectators by taking an astonishing 115 wickets, even though he was over 50 years old at the time. Beyond his sporting prowess, Lillywhite also ventured into business and established a renowned cricket outfitters store in London. This establishment would later gain recognition as one of Britain's premier sports stores. Tragically, this legendary figure met an untimely demise due to cholera. Nevertheless, his legacy lives on through this striking photograph that immortalizes him as a distinguished gentleman with his top hat and elegant attire. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Lillywhite's contributions to cricket but also of his entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering dedication to sport. His story serves as an inspiration for future generations who strive for excellence both on and off the field.
