Best.-Nr. 144619It is an exceptional gelatin silver photographic print measuring a gigantic 530 × 510 mm approximately printed from the negative by the photographer for Michael Treloar in the mid-1990s. Treloar went to an exhibition of Simpson's work at his studio at the time and saw the image on display. It had been commissioned originally as part of a series of portraits of significant older South Australians for an exhibition at the David Jones Gallery in the later 1970s. Treloar in turn commissioned David Simpson to produce a small quantity of prints ten from memory. The photographic paper used to print them was old stock long obsolete; the results were so impressive another batch possibly five was commissioned. Alas only modern paper could be had - still very large at 470 × 475 mm still a wonderful portrait - but the difference was sufficient to determine that no more prints were commissioned. The original lot were signed and dated 1977 by the photographer and subsequently all prints were personally signed in black felt-tipped pen by Sir Don Bradman. The group of very large format prints has been in storage for nearly twenty years forgotten about if not exactly lost until now . The outstanding quality of these portrait photographs make them a far more fitting tribute to the man than a lot of the pedestrian and indifferent material universally on offer. The 470 × 475 mm prints signed by Sir Don Bradman are available for $1250 each. unknown

He is photographed in two different poses: head-and-shoulders from the side wearing his cap and blazer; and three-quarter length from the front wearing pullover and blazer with cap in hand. Lenare was the professional name of Leonard George Green 1883-1946; he specialised in society portraits at his London studio.

His record for the fastest bowler to take 200 wickets in Tests achieved in his 36th match stood for 82 years and was broken only in 2018. His first-class record of 1424 wickets in 248 matches between 1911 and 1941 includes 513 wickets in his 79 Sheffield Shield matches. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1931 along with Don Bradman.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Kavanagh and English Ltd paperback

1938Best.-Nr. 134463Broughty Ferry Dundee: Unidentified Photographer 1938. Very Good. Broughty Ferry Dundee Unidentified Photographer 1938. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 205 × 296 mm laid down on the original captioned mount with the players identified below the image. The mount is a little marked mainly by three small faint glass-rings one slightly encroaching on the bottom left-hand corner of the photograph; tiny mark to the surface of the photograph; overall in excellent condition. The Burnie 'Advocate' Friday 5 August 1938 has an interesting account of the first day's play: 'The Australians arrived by charabanc at the picturesque Broughton sic Ferry ground to-day wearing tartan bonnets but there was nothing festive about their early batting on a good wicket. McCabe won the toss and decided to bat. The weather was fine and cool. By virtue of his father being an Aberdonian the Yorkshireman Gibb led Scotland which drew no nationalistic bar. The team included the West Indian Hunt who is now a professional for Aberdeenshire. Chipperfield was train sick after the 12.5 hour journey from Swansea and stayed in bed to-day. Bradman is staying with friends at Perth. He is expected to stand down in the minor matches to ensure freshness for the next Test. Badcock and Walker who opened for Australia scored only seventeen in half an hour before Badcock was stumped off the first ball from Laidlaw. Walker was bowled in Hunt's first over. Against creditable bowling Barnes batted crisply until caught in the slips by Laidlaw. Fingleton whom one kilted spectator described as a "we bitty on the dour side" stayed with McCabe until lunch when three wickets were down for 95 runs. After lunch Fingleton was soon out and Brown did not last long but McCabe gave the crowd of 4000 the kind of batting it had come to see. Brilliant and versatile he scored 50 in 50 minutes. At tea the Australians were all out for 213 runs'. A few days later the Hobart 'Mercury' Monday 8 August reported that the match was a draw with Australia 213 and 320 and Scotland 88 and 8 for 185. The 'two-day match which ended at Dundee yesterday would have been won easily had not the Australians in light-hearted mood refused to allow it a definite finish. Some of the Scottish newspapers are critical of the Australian tactics at Dundee. The "Scotsman" says it was with no sense of satisfaction that Scotland drew the match in such circumstances'. The full account of the match is nothing if not entertaining with snippets such as these: 'A crowd of 6000 in sultry weather after lunch was entertained first by the release on the field of a kangaroo from the Australian exhibit at the Glasgow Exhibition' and 'As an example of Scottish economy tickets for the match with India in 1932 were used as pass-out checks at lunch time'.

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.

Best.-Nr. 86209William 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. 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

Best.-Nr. 27391Very 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. 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
