Kent might be selling their most famous cricket painting, Albert Chevallier Tayler's painting of Kent v Lancashire in 1906:
The oil on canvas work by Albert Chevallier Tayler, which depicts Kent’s title-winning side fielding during their Canterbury Week match with Lancashire, looks set to change hands 100 years after it was commissioned by the club.
For the past seven years the painting has been on loan to the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord’s, but Kent believe the time has come to cash in on their most valuable piece of cricketing memorabilia with a potential £500,000 price tag.
