Narrow quarto 290 x 150 mm single-sheet flyers printed on both sides versos with advertisements for Robert Hurst shoes; each example has some marginal loss but nonetheless this a rare and desirable group of survivors. The summer public concerts at the MCG organised by the MCC were a feature of Melbourne entertainment and social life in the early Federation era. These 1902-03 concerts all featured Code's Melbourne Brass Band under the baton of Mr. E. Code as well as moving picture displays. The Melbourne Cricket Club Annual Report for 1901-02 noted that “The Open-air Concerts have been carried out with marked success. Twenty-four Concerts were given the average attendance of members at each Concert being 1641 the attendance of the general public also being of a very satisfactory character. During the season the Committee introduced a new feature - viz. the Edisonia pictures - which proved such a success. As the Concerts have now become an established institution the Committee hope during next season to make them still more attractive.†unknown

The only player not to have signed is Bailey. Given the starring role Hutton played in the series let alone throughout his 27-year long first-class career it is perhaps appropriate that his signature should appear twice!

109418The 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
