Description
This lot consists of three matching framed portrait prints from a series titled Players with Pedigree. The prints are color lithographs or high-quality trade card reproductions depicting three legendary figures of English cricket in mid-20th-century style. Each print features the header Players with Pedigree in a stylized green serif font at the top. The players are identified by printed text at the bottom of each card. The first depicts Mr. Douglas Jardine in a dark blue blazer with yellow and red piping. The second depicts Sir Leonard Hutton in a dark blue blazer. The third depicts Mr. Jim Laker in a dark blue blazer. The portraits use a soft-focus artistic style. Each card is mounted within a simple, rectangular black frame. Based on the series title, these are associated with Marston’s Pedigree.
