EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary cricketer, Tom Cartwright, during his playing years for Warwickshire from 1952 to 1969. Born in Aldermans Green Coventry, Cartwright left an indelible mark on English cricket with his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication to the sport. Known primarily as a medium-pace bowler, Cartwright's talent was not limited to bowling alone. Starting his career as a top-order batsman, he displayed remarkable prowess with the bat and even scored seven centuries including an impressive double-century. His versatility on the field earned him a place in five Tests for England between 1964 and 1965. The picture itself dates back to around May 11th, 1956, capturing Cartwright in action at Edgebaston while representing Warwickshire County Cricket Club (CCC). Dressed immaculately in traditional whites adorned with knee pads and gloves, he stands confidently at the crease ready to strike. This snapshot is more than just a glimpse into Cartwright's sporting achievements; it represents an era of passion for cricket that defined the mid-20th century. The image evokes nostalgia for Birmingham's rich cricketing history and serves as a tribute to one of its most celebrated players. Preserved by Mirrorpix under their Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph immortalizes Tom Cartwright's legacy as both an outstanding cricketer and a symbol of sportsmanship.
