EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense concentration and focus of W. Storer, a skilled cricketer of the late Victorian era, circa 1897. The image, taken during a match, showcases Storer in the act of bending down to adjust his wicket-keeping pads on the lush, green grass pitch. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the natural beauty of the cricket ground and the dedication of the sportsman. The 1890s were an exciting time for cricket, with the sport gaining immense popularity in England and its colonies. Cricketers like W. Storer were the heroes of their communities, and matches were a source of great excitement and entertainment for spectators. Storer's attire reflects the traditional cricket uniform of the time, with baggy trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, and a bowler hat resting on the ground beside him. His wicket-keeping pads, which were made of leather and covered in felt to absorb the impact of the ball, are a testament to the physical demands of the role. The image also provides a glimpse into the camaraderie and team spirit that defined cricket during this era. The other players in the background can be seen engaged in animated conversation, no doubt discussing tactics or sharing stories from previous matches. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of cricket, and the dedication and passion of the athletes who played the game during the late Victorian era.
