EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Yorkshire Cricket in 1892, showcasing the legendary Martin Bladen Hawke, 7th Baron Hawke. As captain of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club for an impressive 28 seasons, Lord Hawke's influence on the sport was unparalleled. His exceptional leadership skills extended to captaining England in four test matches, all of which resulted in resounding victories. After bidding farewell to his playing days, Lord Hawke continued to contribute significantly to cricket as a selector for the England team and served as President of the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club). This esteemed position solidified his status as a prominent figure within British cricket. The chromolithograph print by Sir Leslie Matthew Ward beautifully portrays Lord Hawke's commanding presence. The vibrant colors bring life to this nineteenth-century masterpiece while highlighting his dedication and passion for the game. With his trusty cricket bat at hand, Lord Hawke exudes confidence and determination. This image not only showcases one man's remarkable achievements but also represents an era when cricket held immense importance in British society. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of sportsmanship and camaraderie that continues to define Yorkshire Cricket even today. As we gaze upon this historic portrait captured by Sir Leslie Ward for Vanity Fair magazine in London back in 1892, we are transported back in time—a visual reminder of how one man's love for cricket forever shaped its history.
