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

This example has been signed prominently in dark blue ink by Hobbs and the lad who received it has written - almost unnoticed in dark ink in the dark bottom margin - 'Jack Hobb's sic autograph'. unknown

83093Fine. 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. Apart from a few horizontal creases the item is in fine condition and would make an attractive display in conjunction with a team photograph. 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

66237Very Good. The item comprises an almond-shaped base approximately 195 × 130 × 30 mm surmounted by a 120 mm-high figure of W.G. Grace standing between two glass inkpots with silver lids and a two-part stand for pens. The decorated rim of the base is slightly bumped; in excellent condition albeit a little tarnished. Probably Edwardian; the underside of the base is stamped 'James Deakin & Sons Sheffield 10475'. unknown
110709Image size 229 × 286 mm on the original mount 252 × 304 mm with the caption in ink below the image behind a mat with interior quarter-round corners maximum visible image size 223 × 282 mm framed and glazed with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The caption is not visible when the mat is in position; the bottom left-hand corner of the mount and photograph has been broken away and repaired with a 75 mm diagonal crack across that corner visible but unobtrusive; there is a tiny amount of surface loss to the shirt of the player in the centre of the front row; overall a very appealing period piece in an early but not contemporary mat and frame. Furreedpore Faridpur formerly in East Bengal India now Bangladesh has important Australian connections exemplified by this photograph. Silas Mead 1834-1909 a Baptist minister emigrated to South Australia in July 1861; 'he preached at chapels in Adelaide and North Adelaide. Regular services began at White's Rooms and within a month a Baptist Church was constituted with twenty-six members. Inspired by Mead's enthusiastic leadership the congregation decided to build a large church in Flinders Street; it was opened on 19 May 1863. When its cost of £7000 was cleared by 1864 he established at Furreedpore India the first constituted Australian Baptist Foreign Mission and later helped to found similar societies in other Australian colonies'. His son Dr Cecil Silas Mead 1866-1940 followed closely in his footsteps; after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1891 'he served as a medical missionary in eastern Bengal for twenty-nine years returned to Adelaide to teach anatomy in 1923-39 and died in June 1940' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dr Mead is second from the right in the top seated row; we have no reason to doubt that this photograph was once in his possession and for all intents and purposes it is unique. A copy of 'Doctor Sahib: The Story of Dr Cecil Silas Mead' by Elva Schroeder 2013 is offered together with the photograph. 2 items. unknown
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
81030Seated 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
100633A 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
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. <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
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. <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
189929277London: Reinhold Thiele and Co. 66 Chancery Lane 1899. London Reinhold Thiele and Co. 66 Chancery Lane possibly 1899. A vintage albumen paper photograph 250 × 195 mm laid down on the printed mount of the photographer. The photograph has slight surface silverfish damage not affecting the figure; original mount slightly foxed; recently matted ready for framing visible image size 335 × 280 mm. This full-length portrait features Howell with a cricket ball grasped firmly in his right hand standing alongside a wicket in the practice nets at Lord's in 1899. Displayed in a window cut into the rear of the modern mount is his bold ink surname signature. Howell toured England in 1899 1902 and 1905: he took all 10 for 28 against Surrey in his first match in England in 1899. A rare and impressive item. Reinhold Thiele and Co., 66 Chancery Lane unknown
1902122144Adelaide: N. Netter Photo. 45 & 47 Arcade 1902. Fine. Adelaide N. Netter Photo. 45 & 47 Arcade 1902. A gelatin silver photograph 143 × 209 mm on the original captioned mount now matted visible image size 223 × 267 mm and behind glass in a period-style wooden frame external dimensions 319 × 354 mm. The frame is a little scuffed; the photograph and mount are in fine condition. A wonderful image of a parochial cricket team in the field: it should even appeal to the collector of photographs who has no interest at all in cricket. N. Netter, Photo., 45 & 47 Arcade unknown
