content: This is a colored print of the 1856 eleven man United States cricket team. The players are dressed in assorted sports clothing, four holding cricket bats. This is the team that played September 11-12, 1856 when the United States won their match against Canada in Hoboken, New Jersey. The cricket match was attended by over 5,000 and the US won with 9 wickets to spare. The US success and North American interest inspired the All-England XI 6 city tour which occurred in 1859. In this print, umpire George Wheatcroft from Newark, New Jersey, stands dressed in a black suit and top hat. He stands at the one end of the row of players. The name of each man and his club is listed beneath his image. They are identified as Barlow, Marsh, (Henry) Sharpe, (Sam) Wright, Gibbes, Higham, Bingham, Cuyp, Waller, Willey, and Senior. Several were veterans of earlier matches and are from the St. George's Cricket Club in Manhattan, the New York Cricket Club, and the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
