1933107014Adelaide: Rigby Ltd 1933. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide Rigby Ltd. 1933. Small oblong folio 40 pages including the covers with illustrations on 24 pages 16 full-page and the front cover. 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. A few years later in 1939 he was awarded the Magarey Medal as the 'Fairest and Most Brilliant' player in the South Australian National Football League. Rigby Ltd paperback

The original blank front endpaper has the ownership inscription of the famous English cricketer Heathfield H. Stephenson dated 1894. A curious and appealing cricketing association copy. With all first issue points within the text present. Smith part I: 6b Charles Dickens' works are among the most celebrated in the English literary canon but cricket fans might argue that his greatest achievement was inadvertently triggering the long international cricket rivalry of England and Australia.�The first ever England vs Australia tour was originally conceived as a Victorian PR stunt and sponsorship opportunity by two entrepreneurial Melbourne-based businessmen the wine merchants Felix William Spiers and Christopher Pond. Having failed to persuade Charles Dickens to conduct a lecture tour of Australia the two Englishmen turned their attention to cricket. The sport's popularity was growing in Australia so Spiers and Pond invited a team of leading English cricketers to tour the country. Twelve players signed up for the tour. Named "The Eleven of All England" or "H. H. Stephenson's XI" after the English Captain Heathfield Harman Stephenson they each received £150 first class passage aboard SS Great Britain costing 70 guineas plus all expenses.�The inaugural English tour of Australia was a great success promoting the development of Australian cricket and inspiring later English teams to visit Australia.

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.

2005355490725947London 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. London: Aurum Press 2005. First UK Edition in dustwrapper priced £9.99 to the inside flap. SIGNED BY ALL 12 PLAYERS WHO PLAYED FOR ENGLAND IN THE 2005 ASHES 2 OF THE ENGLAND MANAGEMENT TEAM AND PAUL GILLESPIE LEGENDARY AUSTRALIAN FAST BOWLER. Publisher's red boards with gilt spine lettering. A near fine copy in a fine dustwrapper. Signed by: Andrew Flintoff Paul Collingwood Ian Bell Keven Pietersen Graham Jones Simon Jones Ashley Giles Steve Harmison Matthew Hoggard Andrew Strauss Marcus Trescothick and Best wishes Michael Vaughan. Additionally signed by: David Graveney Chief Selector and Matthew Maynard Batting Coach and Paul Gillespie. The signatures were obtained by a legendary cricket autograph hunter who scoured the county and test grounds for many years with his trusty back-pack. The last signature found was that of Andrew Freddie Flintoff in November 2025 when England faced the English Lions in a warm-up match at Lilac Hill in Perth in a precursor to the last Ashes Tour. Flintoff was there as coach of the Lions. A photograph of Flintoff is included. NB: Gordon Haigh Australian cricket journalist covered this tour for The Guardian and the book was published shortly after the final ball was bowled. It won the Wisden Book of the Year for 2005. The previous years winner Ed Smith chose this collection of reports and writing on the 2005 Ashes series for The Guardian. Haighs strength lies in his combination of judiciousness and a sharp witty elegant gift for language. The pages turn even now when we know the story of the summer so well. Likely unique. The 2005 Ashes Series is widely regarded as the greatest ever Ashes series. Further photographs available upon request. hardcover

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
