VANITY FAIR (publisher) - 'THE CHAMPION COUNTY' (Edward Wentworth Dillon), coloured plate by 'Ape', 3rd September 1913, 380 x 265mm., unframed.
The decline of the magazine's circulation, the year before the outbreak of war, makes Dillon the rarest of the Vanity Fair cricketers. If it is true that other, better known cricketers were wrongly left out, the image is nevertheless an imposing one and a not unfitting choice for the end of an illustrious era.
