EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Robert Abel, a renowned cricketer of the late Victorian era, representing both Surrey and England. Known affectionately as 'The Guvnor,' Abel's commanding presence and leadership on the cricket field are evident in this image. Dressed in the traditional cricket whites, Abel holds his bat with an air of confidence and readiness, embodying the spirit of the game. The cap perched atop his head, a common accessory for cricketers during this time, adds to his distinguished appearance. The setting, with lush greenery in the background, further emphasizes the serene and picturesque atmosphere of a cricket match during the 1890s. Abel's nickname, 'Guvnor,' was a term of respect and admiration, reflecting his authoritative and influential role within the cricket community. His contributions to the sport extended beyond his impressive playing career, as he was also a respected figure off the field, serving as a mentor and role model for future generations of cricketers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when cricket was a cherished pastime and the gentlemen of the sport embodied grace, sportsmanship, and a deep love for the game.
