Sammy Woods

Original - Staged photograph of England and Australian Test all-rounder Sammy Woods. This image was published as part of the 'Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds' collection in 1895 by Hudson and Kearns.

Reason

This staged image of Sammy Woods was among the iconic images of the time, and has been used as the lead image on Sammy Woods since March 2010. In a time when photos of the players in action were rare, if not completely non-existant, these staged images were all that the public had to recognise cricketers by.
