‘The Kentish Gazette’. Original early newspaper for 19th July 1791 printed in Canterbury. Page one column 1 features a small advertisement with an engraved vignette of a cricket scene. The advertisement reads ‘Cricketing. On Thursday, July 21, 1791, will be played at Deal, a match of Cricket, between the Gentlemen of Deal and the Gentlemen of Sandwich, with five men picked, for One Guinea a man’. The newspaper has been trimmed to the lower edge, otherwise in very good condition for its age. A rare item.
