A sheet of paper signed in ink by all seventeen members of the MCC touring team in Australia in 1936-37
Fine. A narrow strip of white paper 252 × 67 mm mounted on a pair of conjugate leaves detached from a small autograph album with the signatures neatly arranged one under the other.

The signatures are Allen Captain Ames Barnett Copson Duckworth Fagg Farnes Fishlock Hammond Hardstaff Leyland Robins Sims Verity Voce Worthington and Wyatt plus the manager Captain R. Howard. Australia won the series 3-2: 'England's failure can be attributed to a combination of poor batting and brilliance on the part of Bradman' Wynne-Thomas. unknown

[Cricket]. JACKSON, Archibald ('Archie', 1909-1933 [New South Wales and Australia])
A vintage photograph from the 1930 tour of England signed by Archie Jackson
An original vintage gelatin silver press photograph 120 × 165 mm with a typed caption mounted on the verso: 'Australians dismissed for 156 runs in their first innings against Essex at Leyton. Fairfax Australia loses his leg stump to Palmer after scoring 12 runs'. The photograph is taken from behind the wicket and includes the wicket-keeper the fieldsman at slips Alan Fairfax the cartwheeling stump and Alan Kippax the batsman at the non-striker's end. Of far greater consequence however is the signature pencilled on the verso of the image: that of Archie Jackson the New South Wales and Australian Test batsman who died of tuberculosis in 1933 at the early age of 23. Jackson and his friend and supporter Fairfax were room-mates on the 1930 tour of England which helps explain why this particular image from this tour bears his ownership signature. unknown

[Cricket]. GRACE, William Gilbert (1845-1915)
A vintage gelatin silver photograph approximately 150 × 200 mm taken outdoors against a close backdrop of a grandstand of a distinguished-looking W.G. Grace in the twilight of his life
Seated next to him is Richard Norman Rowsell Blaker 1879-1950 and his young son also Richard 1909-1967. Richard senior played 119 matches for Kent 1898-1908 'a hard-hitting batsman and a fine slip fielder. He helped Kent carry off the County Championship in 1906 and was President of the club when he died. His twin daughters Barbara and Joan . were prominent members of the Kent women's cricket team and both played for England' 'Wisden Book of Obituaries'. In this photograph Richard junior looks to be four or five years old; at that time 1913 or 1914 Richard senior was playing for Blackheath Cricket Club. Here he is shown padded up so presumably it is in season. Grace died in October 1915 and this photograph taken a year or two before his death depicts a genial smiling giant of a man at ease in this archetypal cricket setting. In excellent condition mounted and matted ready for framing. unknown

A vintage photograph of the St Peter's College team in 'Inter-Collegiate Cricket 1910. PAC 118 and 209 v SPSC 368 and 191'
A gelatin silver photograph 218 × 294 mm laid down as issued on the original printed mount of the photographer 'E. Ziegler 40 Elizabeth St Norwood' Ernest Charles Victor Ziegler active 1879-1925. The photograph and mount are in superb condition behind glass in the original frame. 'The Advertiser' 11 December 1931 sets the scene for these Inter-Collegiate matches: 'Today the annual cricket match between St Peter's and Prince Alfred Colleges will begin at the Adelaide Oval. Last year the game was played at Prince Alfred College the first time in the history of the matches first played in 1878 that the Adelaide Oval was not available. The match is one of the most important cricket events outside first-class matches in South Australia although in recent years it has failed to sic the importance and drawing power of inter-collegiate matches played before the war. Many famous cricketers have graduated from the college teams'. <p>The 1910 SPSC team - victorious to the tune of 232 runs - was no exception; sitting next to each other are C.E. Pellew and Vice-Captain A.G. Moyes. 'Nip' Pellew played for South Australia 1913-14 to 1928-29 the AIF Touring XI 1919 to 1919-20 and Australia ten Tests in 1920-21. Johnny Moyes a 'promising young cricketer . had represented 1912-15 South Australia making a century on debut been chosen 1914 for Australia in a tour cancelled due to World War I against South Africa and played for Victoria in 1920. In Sydney he achieved one of the highest individual scores in grade cricket when he made 218 runs in 83 minutes for the Gordon District Cricket Club in 1922. he served as a New South Wales selector 1926-27 and wanted Sir Donald Bradman to play for the State' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. For many years he worked as a journalist including fifteen years as sporting editor of 'The Sun' and he published thirteen books on cricket. In 1949 he began 'broadcasting sporting sessions for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In 1950-51 he covered his first Test series against England. In 1955 he received a full-time contract. As a cricket broadcaster he became a household name in Australia and New Zealand in the 1950s and early 1960s' ADB. unknown

[Cricket]. [OLDFIELD, William Albert (Bert)] MOORE, May
A vintage gelatin silver photograph of the Australian Test cricketer Bert Oldfield taken in Sydney in the mid-1920s
William Albert Oldfield 1894-1976 described by Jack Hobbs as the 'best wicketkeeper of his time' played for NSW and Australia and his Test career of 54 matches ran from 1920 to 1937. This photograph is a fine sepia-toned head-and-shoulders studio portrait of Oldfield in a suit; he has signed and dated it 1926 in ink in the bottom right-hand corner above the ink signature of the photographer May Moore. The image size is 280 × 180 mm and it is now archivally matted ready for framing. <p>New Zealand-born May Moore 1881-1931 emigrated to Australia in 1910 and opened her first studio the following year in Sydney. Working initially together with her sister Mina who ran her own studio in Melbourne from 1916 her excellent portrait photography attracted a large clientele especially among artistic circles. May in particular photographed many Sydney celebrities and it is not surprising to find that the cricketing heroes of the day made it to her studio. With 'a studio style using dramatic single source lighting dark backgrounds rich brown toned papers and sombre colour mounts and favouring head and shoulder studies . the sisters were extraordinary in their ability to portray a range of moods appropriate to their sitters' Gael Newton. Illness forced her to retire about 1928 and she died of cancer in 1931. unknown

Very Good. A sepia-toned albumen paper photograph 180 × 240 mm unmounted with a contemporary press stamp printer's annotations and a mounted typed caption slip on the verso. One horizontal crease across the photograph a centimetre or more clear of the back row of figures; in excellent condition with the later inkstamp of the 'Davis Sporting Collection' on the verso. The caption is explicit: 'The South African Cricket Team photographed at Lord's today. They will play their first match this season tomorrow Saturday v. Derbyshire .'. Accordingly this photograph was taken on 3 May 1912. <p>To quote Wisden: 'The South Africans failed so dismally in the Test matches that although they won thirteen of their less important games their tour can only be regarded as a failure'. In the triangular tournament even the non-representative Australian team proved far too strong winning decisively their first two Tests but to put things into perspective after that second victory 'the Australians did not win a match the record for the rest of the tour coming out at four defeats twelve draws and one match abandoned'. The South African squad comprised Mitchell Captain Campbell Carter Cox Faulkner Hartigan Nourse Pegler Schwarz Snooke Stricker Tancred Taylor and Ward. unknown

Two-colour pictorial card covers recently reattached with the spine reinforced on the verso; an excellent copy of an absolute rarity. 'The Book has been written for the new regime of cricket; the batter bruise and bust cricket which has been thrust upon us. This travesty of an erstwhile noble sport demands new techniques to master it . We find after years of research that all previous books on cricket dealt mainly with batting bowling fielding and records. It is not now sufficient to wield a polished bat to execute a classic leg-glance or a neat on-drive' - you get the drift. The delicious irony is that this copy has the contemporary ownership details of a young Jeff Pash 1916-2005 then aged about 17.

Small 4to. 37 ff. mostly with newspaper clippings neatly pasted in on both sides 4 ff. in manuscript "Summary of Scores" from 1871-1877 and 1910. Several leaves excised; it is possible that the present album had been re-purposed. On a few of the stubs appear fragmentary MS notations suggesting that the notebook may have once been divided alphabetically. We find on certain stubs "Ai" followed immediately by "Ao" and then several leaves later: "Her. - Hes" followed by "Io." Binding rebacked with smooth calf. In very good condition. Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game:<br /> <br /> ¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885.<br /> <br /> ¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. <br /> <br /> ¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. <br /> <br /> ¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. <br /> <br /> ¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. <br /> <br /> ¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim.

[Cricket]. Australia, 1930
One leaf in a small autograph album leaf size 80 × 138 mm signed in ink on the recto only by seven members of the Australian squad selected to tour England in 1930
The signatories are a'Beckett Fairfax Grimmett Hurwood Kippax Oldfield and Walker. The signatures were collected by the parents of a five year-old boy when the family travelled on the same ship as the cricketers on the voyage to England in early 1930. The leaves are the first two in an album with the printed image of the ship the Orient Line's SS 'Orford' on the front cover; some of the leaves are held in place with clear paper tape but the overall condition is very good. <p>The page was also signed in pencil by Victor Richardson and again by Walker but the young owner went over these signatures in ink after first having tried to erase the second Walker signature written at right angles along the right-hand side at the end of the other signatures. The balance of the squad's signatures on another page are similarly gone over. However among the seven decent signatures there are some famous names as well as some rare and interesting Test players. Ted a'Beckett played in four Tests; Alec Hurwood played in only two Tests; Charlie Walker toured twice 1930 and 1938 without playing in a Test match due to injuries and he was killed in action in a bombing mission over Germany in 1942. unknown

Loosely inserted is a processed circular letter on the company's letterhead 2 leaves rectos only folded for posting the leading edges now creased with a few tiny sealed tears. The letter dated 1 April 1937 outlines the trade terms prefaced with the following paragraph: 'It is regretted that owing to the tremendous increase in the price of metals and other materials together with increased production costs we have been forced to reduce the Discounts applicable to our List'. The letter addressed to L. Cann proprietor of the eponymous hardware store on The Parade at Norwood in suburban Adelaide is signed by 'J.M. Gregory' - none other than Jack Morrison Gregory 1895-1973 the famous Australian Test cricketer. <p>During the First World War he 'had two tours of duty in France. In 1919 he joined the A.I.F. cricket team in England. Under the leadership of H.L. Collins Gregory developed into an all-rounder whose spectacular hitting was matched by fearsome fast bowling and prehensile slip fielding. <p>Discharged from the A.I.F. in March 1920 Gregory played a leading part next summer in the recovery of the Ashes from England with 442 runs at 73 in the five matches including a century at Melbourne 23 wickets at 24 and 15 catches. <p>In December 1928 he broke down with a knee injury in the first Test against England and retired. In 24 Test matches he had taken 85 wickets at 31 made 1146 runs at just under 37 and taken 37 catches. In first-class cricket his figures were 504 wickets at 21 and 5661 runs at 36. <p>He had joined Kavanagh & English Pty Ltd sheet metal manufacturers in the mid-1920s and was a director by 1928' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. 2 items.

[Littlebourne Cricket Club; Chislet [Chislett] Cricket Club; Fleet Cricket Club; C S Buckingham; Hants & Berks Gazette]:
Pre-First World War Cricket. Two poems on the subject one in manuscript about a match between Littlebourne and Chislet titled 'July 4th. 1912' and the other printed about the retirement of C. S. Buckingham from Fleet Cricket Club untitled.
The manuscript poem Littlebourne and Chislet Cricket Clubs both in Kent dated 4 July 1912; the printed poem Fleet Cricket Club Hampshire without printer's details and undated. Manuscript poem: 4pp. 12mo. On bifolium. Titled at head of first page: 'July 4th. 1912.' Forty-eight lines of rhymed verse arranged in twelve four-line stanzas. The first three stanzas read: 'Oh! Thursday last was a day of days If you listen I'll tell you why. In fifty-one and a thousand ways It excelled many days gone by. Well! Littlebourne boasts of a Cricket team. Here lies the pith of our tale For Chislet a challenge sent forth and I deem They had nought to request or bewail. A fine opposition our village sent forth And at twelve on Lee Priory Ground They were ready to show onlookers their worth And determined to win I'll be bound!' The Littlebourne team score 80 runs before 'The tenth man was given "leg before."' A 'luncheon and tea' are then given and the narrator states that 'Of those unbeknown whom I helped to feed Were Pope Hunt Morgan Kirby and Grinstead.' He continues: 'The Doctor was there in his usual trim And his batting was none of the worst. His son bowled a bit so thanks go to him. Then another who fielded was Hirst.' An unnamed bowler who had scored 'a duck' 'Five wickets he took out of ten'. 'There are still two more I've forgotten to mention Nevill Cheatle and Smith were their names. The former's engaged and needs no apprehension The latter was surrounded with dames.' The outcome of the match is unclear the last stanza reading: 'But Thursday has gone and can ne'er come again. And Chislet were given the wicket But its fun and its joy will longer remain. So 3 cheers for the Littlebourne Cricket.' Printed poem: 1p. 12mo. On one side of printed 'Post Card' without any manuscript text. Arranged in portrait format and headed: 'Mr. C. S. Buckingham has retired from active cricket and is presenting the Fleet Cricket Club with a pair of oak gates. Vide "Hants & Berks Gazette."' Twenty-four rhyming lines arranged in six four-line stanzas. Addressed to Buckingham the poem begins: 'Ye placid waters around Chequers Bridge Reflect the dull dark sorrow: Our cricket hero's bats at rest Alas! What of to-morrow' The subject is described as 'the "Rooster Chief" Of Brother Carey's chicken'. He is also said to have 'Told the world of our bowler bold Biographer of Harris.' Final stanza: 'A pleasant memory yet remains A consolation left us Our flannelled legion will march to fame Through the gates of Claudius Septimus.' The manuscript poem [Littlebourne and Chislet Cricket Clubs, both in Kent] dated 4 July 1912; the printed poem [Fleet Cricket Cl unknown
