This exhibition contained the collection of Sir Jeremiah Colman, in youth an accomplished cricketer and all his life an enthusiast for cricket, for painting and for the two conjoined.
Those of his pictures had not a double interest had always a cricketing interest; they recorded details of settings, costume and implement in a way which must fascinate everyone with a sense of the long tradition of the game and its close relation to the national life.
Many of the pictures were anonymous, but names like Cox and Sandby appeared.
