Charles Crombie

A fine copy of cartoonist Charles Crombie’s collection of amusing cartoons illustrating cricket settings. This is the first and only edition of the work.

Charles Crombie (fl. 1904-1932), the illustrator of this book, was an editorial cartoonist, British artist, and writer who was born in Scotland and studied at the Glasgow School of Art before moving to London to work as an illustrator and designer.

Crombie is best known for his illustrations of sports and games, particularly cricket. He was a skilled illustrator, and his drawings captured the spirit of the game, depicting the players, the action, and the equipment in a detailed and accurate manner.
