John Richard Painter & Somerset Team Photo. 1895. (Cricket)

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds," 1895, showing the Following Two Photographs one on each side.

1- John Richard Painter.
Born in Gloucestershire and trained there, PAINTER was, in addition a Cricketer of just the type to commend himself to the King of Cricket, in other word, to W. G. Grace.  With plenty of power, he was able to hit with vigour when once he got in ; and frequently, as well as on critical occasions his hitting was invaluable to the Gloucestershire Eleven.  Like some other batsmen of the free school, he was only to ready to score off the first ball, so that he made his runs, as a rule and under any conditions, very quickly.  A resolute batsman at all times he hit all round with much the same certainty.  An unassuming, and, as a natural consequence, popular Cricketer.
