At the rear of the book are the signatures of several Australians: Paul Hughes sadly now deceased ; Usman Khawaja; Marcus North; Ben Hilfenhaus; Peter Siddle; and Greg Chappell Selector. These signatures were lovingly obtained by one of cricket's legendary autograph hunters who scours the county circuit with his books in his back-pack to watch is beloved county team and in the hope and expectation that he might be able to add a signature or two to his books on the Ashes series. The 2010-2011 Ashes Series is important as it resulted in a resounding 3-1 series victory for England who retained the Ashes previously won in 2009. Furthermore this was the first time that England had won the Ashes in Australia for some 24 years. If this is your sort of thing please let me know as I may well be able to offer other books from noteworthy Ashes series multi-signed in a similar way.

24480An 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

18165Paris, André Barry & fils, 1948. In-folio, 147 pp. 27 pl., en feuilles, couverture originale imprimée, chemises et étui éditeur de demi-toile bleue (1 accident à l'étui, frottements, quelques taches et rousseurs, quelques pâles décharges, 1 cuivre manquant).
Single sheet, a near fine copy. Signed simply 'Wavell' in the writer's usual manner, the letter is written to Geoffrey Moore, founder of the Buccaneers Cricket Club, and demonstrates the soldier's keen and continuing interest in the sport. It is noteworthy that Wavell was particularly proud of his membership of the MCC at Lords. The letter declines Moore's invitation to attend the annual dinner, but carries Wavell's best wishes for the Club for the coming year during which he hopes to see tham in action. Field-Marshal Earl Wavell (1883-1950) was one of the twentieth century's most distinguished soldiers. Following considerable success against the Italians in North Africa, his career reached its peak with his appointment as Supreme Allied Commander, South West Pacific, ABDA (American, British, Dutch and Australian) Command in 1942 and subsequently as an outstanding Viceroy and Governor General of India from 1943-1947. He was recognised also as a scholar, compiling the well-known anthology of poetry 'Other Mens's Flowers' (1944). The bulk of Wavell's papers are now housed in the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College, London. Founded in 1930, The Buccaneers is one of the oldest and most famous 'wandering' clubs in English cricket (a 'wandering' club has no fixed home ground but plays consistently as an 'away' team relying on the hospitality of the 'home' clubs against which it competes). The Club's history has been written twice, by Clifford Bax in 1956 and more recently by Howard Spencer. ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY WAVELL ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE.
