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

Fall leaves cover the grass behind the team a suggestion that this was an end of season game. <br /> <br /> Approximately 13 x 10" image laid on thicker board no margins minor chipping at edges. unknown
