Title: The Laws of the Noble Game of Cricket as revised by the Club at St Mary-le-bone
Publisher: John Wallis, 13 Warwick Square, London
Date: Published May 25, 1809
Description
An exceptionally scarce and historically significant early 19th-century broadside documenting the laws of cricket. This piece was issued the same year the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) updated the rules to reflect the evolving nature of the sport.
The document features a charming hand-colored oval engraving at the top, depicting a rural cricket match in progress with a classic bell tent in the background. Below the vignette, the laws are meticulously laid out in three columns. Notable historical details include the mention of "Notches" instead of "Runs" and "Overs" consisting of only four balls.
