Literature
Pageant of Cricket p. 155: "A vision of a Test match at Lord's." The Noblest Game 14: "Not a representation of any specific match but a composite picture, made up by the artists of men who played for England and Australia at the time, and notable persons who attended Lord's. W.G. Grace is the batsman, W.W. Read the non-striker, F.R. Spofforth the bowler, and T.W. Garrett is fielding the ball on the extra cover boundary ... the Prince (later King Edward VII) and Princess of Wales are walking towards the stand where several ladies whose names had been linked by gossip with the Prince are averting their heads ... In the right centre foreground, to the right of the pillar, is Lilly Langtry." The original, painted in 1886, hangs at Lord's. This variant of the print has medallion portraits of the two teams below, and is without the printed title 'MCC' in the lower centre.
