1880259401880. Photography. Good condition. A great cricket photograph a large albumen group picture of the entire11 players in the unidentified team. <br /> <br /> Each player wears cricket whites and a cap emblazoned with a horse head or rook and elaborate belts or sashes which also bear emblems. Some players wear a striped shirt; all wear cricket boots with studs. Most sport healthy handlebar mustaches as was in vogue at the time. <br /> <br /> One player at the far right holds the cricket bat while the bowler at the far left holds the ball. The wicket-keeper rests his gloved hands on the shoulders of the seated players in front of him. There appears to be an older player with a beard showing some gray and wearing wire rim spectacles who seems somewhat out of place given the youth of the rest of the players.<br /> <br /> The team looks to be in front of a large white canvas screen an indication that this is an important game. 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
18712437Charterhouse School 1871. Hardcover. Very good. Dates: 1871-1877 and 1910. Small 4to. 37 ff. mostly with newspaper clippings neatly pasted in on both sides 4 ff. in manuscript "Summary of Scores" from 1871-1877 and 1910. Several leaves excised; it is possible that the present album had been re-purposed. On a few of the stubs appear fragmentary MS notations suggesting that the notebook may have once been divided alphabetically. We find on certain stubs "Ai" followed immediately by "Ao" and then several leaves later: "Her. - Hes" followed by "Io." Binding rebacked with smooth calf. In very good condition. Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game:<br/><br/>¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885.<br/><br/>¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. <br/><br/>¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. <br/><br/>¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. <br/><br/>¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. <br/><br/>¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: We are grateful to Catherine Smith Archivist of Charterhouse School for much useful information concerning the Blomfield Family. hardcover books
