EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the legendary cricketer, Jack Hobbs, also known as "The Master," in his prime during the early 1910s. Hobbs, born in 1882, was a prolific and elegant batsman who represented both Surrey and England in international cricket matches. His exceptional skill and consistency earned him the title of one of the greatest cricketers in history. In this image, Hobbs is dressed in the traditional cricket attire of the era: a woolen sweater or jumper, a cap, and a determined expression. The high-quality print, likely an advertising card for Force cricket bats, captures the essence of Hobbs' professionalism and mastery on the cricket field. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and tradition of this beloved sport. Jack Hobbs' career spanned over four decades, from 1897 to 1934. During this time, he scored an impressive 61,760 runs in first-class cricket, including 197 centuries. His remarkable achievements continue to inspire cricket enthusiasts and players around the world. This photograph is a testament to Hobbs' enduring legacy and the timeless allure of cricket as a sport. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the passion, dedication, and skill that defined Jack Hobbs' career and continue to shape the game of cricket today.
