A richly illustrated and engaging anthology, Benny Green’s Cricket Archive is a celebration of cricket’s golden age through rare imagery and historical ephemera. Compiled by noted broadcaster and cricket historian Benny Green, the work draws heavily on early 20th-century cigarette cards, caricatures, and memorabilia to present a visual and narrative history of the game’s most iconic players.
 
The book captures the charm and character of cricket’s formative years, featuring figures such as Jessop, Fry, Larwood, and Tate, alongside lesser-known but equally fascinating personalities. Green’s commentary blends wit, nostalgia, and deep knowledge, making this both an entertaining read and a valuable reference for collectors and enthusiasts.
 
A standout feature is its reproduction of vintage cigarette cards—now highly collectible in their own right—making this volume particularly appealing to those interested in cricket ephemera and sporting art.
