Literature
SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN COLOURED STATE. Pageant of Cricket p. 227: "commeorates Kent's first Championship, earned in 1906. Colin Blythe, the brilliant but highly-strung left arm slow bowler sends one down to Lancashire's Johnny Tyldesley at Canterbury (where the large canvas now hangs in the pavilion) in a match won by Kent by an innings. It was the sixth of 11 consecutive victories as they stormed to the title .... the non-striking batsman is Billy Findlay, who substituted for the artist in the absence of Maclaren, who was in India in the winter of 1906-07." Players: E. Humphreys, E. W. Dillon, W. Findlay, C. Blythe, J. T. Tyldesley, R. N. R. Blaker, F. H. Huish, K. L. Hutchings, C. H. B. Marsham (Capt.), A. Fielder, J. R. Mason, C. J. Burnup, J. Seymour.
