EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of cricket legend C.J. Kortwright in his prime, during the golden age of the game in the early 20th century. Born in 1871, Kortwright was a prominent figure in Essex cricket, bringing joy and excitement to the sport's devoted fans. Kortwright's impressive cricketing career began in the late 1800s, and he quickly established himself as a formidable all-rounder. His prowess on the field was marked by his ability to both bat and bowl with great skill and precision. Kortwright's batting style was characterized by his powerful strokes and his uncanny ability to read the game, making him a valuable asset to his team. This photograph, taken around 1895, shows Kortwright in his element, dressed in the traditional cricket whites and holding his bat with the confidence and poise of a true professional. The backdrop of a lush, green cricket pitch adds to the sense of tranquility and focus, as Kortwright prepares to face the opposing bowler. Despite retiring from the game in the 1920s, Kortwright remained a beloved figure in Essex cricket circles. His legacy lives on through the many records he set and the countless memories he created on the field. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring impact on the sport and the joy he brought to generations of cricket fans.
