Johnny Briggs, Ted Tyler and Arthur Sellers are among the county cricketers portrayed in Famous Cricketers & Cricket grounds, edited by C. W. Alcock and published by Hudson and Kearns in 1895. The work presented the game through its named players and grounds, and the prints here also include Thomas Perkins, George Porter and Sydney Crosfield, each title giving his county and playing role. Dress, stance and pose show how sportsmen were pictured in the late nineteenth century, and the clubs and positions named make it easy to follow a favourite team or player.
