EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pair of Staffordshire pottery cricketers, believed to represent the legendary George Parr and Julius Caesar. Crafted by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, these ceramic figurines are now held in a private collection. The attention to detail in this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring. The two male sportsmen stand proudly, their cricket bats poised for action. Every muscle and sinew is meticulously captured, giving life to their stances as if frozen mid-game. One can almost hear the crack of the bat against leather as they prepare to strike. George Parr, known for his exceptional skills on the field from 1826-1891, was undoubtedly one of England's finest cricketers. His counterpart Julius Caesar also left his mark on the sport during his career from 1830-1878. This artwork pays homage to their contributions and immortalizes them within its delicate form. Displayed against a simple backdrop, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these sculptures but also their historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained cricket is within English culture and how it continues to captivate enthusiasts even today. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this moment in time through their lens, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel connected with both past and present; united by our shared love for sportsmanship and admiration for artistic expression.
