W.R. (William Ritchie) Sharp played for Forfarshire (captain for 40 years) and Scotland, including matches against the Australians in 1902 and the South Africans in 1904. He was a jute manufacturer and uncle of Hugh Sharp, whose collection of first editions was donated to the Library in 1938 after his death.
From the collection of John Arlott (1914-1991), English journalist, author and cricket commentator, he has annotated in ink the carte-de-visite with Sharp's name, clubs and dates.
