Rare b&w photograph of an unnamed Yorkshire cricket team, circa 1865-75, probably showing the County side circa 1867, 8 by 10in. The player lying on the ground to the left is possibly Tom Emmett, the third left standing possibly George Freeman, fellow fast bowlers for Yorkshire. Blazers first came in circa 1860, along with wicket-keeping pads and gloves, while the striped shirts are indicative of the same era.
