One our earliest artworks relating to women's #cricket, this 1779 watercolour depicts The Countess of Derby & 11 other women playing cricket, whilst wearing tightly corseted dresses and large tilted bonnets, quite the sportswear

To narrow down MCC's art collection to a select few is headache inducing. Paintings range from 18thC to contemporary works with landscapes, matches, portraits, grounds & thousands of prints to provide a comprehensive depiction of #Cricket

Hayman's 1743 original is in our collection & we hold many more artworks depicting how the highly curved bat evolved into the bats we have today
This is The Young Cricketer, Portrait of Lewis Cage by Francis Coats from 1768
