Early Impressions: printed images of Cricket in Georgian England
BSAT member Jasper Jennings has spent over 20 years finding and selling antiquarian prints showing sporting activity. What can they tell us about how, why and by whom cricket was played in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? In this talk, illustrated by some of his own acquisitions, Jasper shares his insights.
With his natural flair for entertaining, combined with working knowledge and robust scholarship, Jasper engages diverse audiences with print culture and art. He joined a shop selling rare prints and books in Covent Garden straight out of university. After a brief spell in a New York gallery, he started trading himself, exhibiting at international fairs as a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association.
A devoted follower of the English game, Jasper is a member of the Cricket Memorabilia Society. He has written about printed collectables for titles such as Historic Houses, the Antiques Trade Gazette and All Out Cricket.
