Victor Thomas Trumper (2 November 1877[a] – 28 June 1915) was an Australian cricketer known as the most stylish and versatile batsman of the Golden Age of cricket, capable of playing match-winning innings on wet wickets his contemporaries found unplayable. English cricket captain Archie MacLaren said of him, "Compared to Victor I was a cab-horse to a Derby winner". Trumper was also a key figure in the foundation of rugby league in Australia.[1] His photograph taken by George Beldam in 1905 is often considered to be the greatest cricketing photograph ever taken.
