Cricket Match Stereoview. An early stereoview of a cricket match at North Runcton Hall, Norfolk, c. 1859-60, a pair of mounted albumen prints showing a cricket match in progress with a small marquee and oak trees in the background, images positioned within gilt borders on thin white card, contemporary manuscript note to verso (Quantity: 1) Early cricket photographs showing games in play are very rare. The earliest such photograph known to date is one taken by the celebrated Crimean War photographer Roger Fenton in 1857. In 2014 a photograph of I Zingari the Household Brigade taken at Lord's on 9 June 1859 came to light. A photograph of a cricket match at Eton from the early 1860s contained in a memorial album was sold in these rooms in 2015. The newly discovered stereoview offered here, which would appear to date from no later than 1860, is the latest addition to the early photographic history of cricket.
