JARVIS, Arthur Harwood [1860-1933: South Australia and Australia]: A carte de visite (albumen paper photograph, 95x55mm, on the original printed mount of the London Photographic Company, 304 Regent Street: negative number 10590). It is a posed studio portrait (against a painted backdrop featuring an arched stone bridge) of Jarvis in whites with a tie and sash belt, holding a cricket bat. Jarvis 'ranked as one of Australia's best wicket-keepers' but as a contemporary of Blackham, his opportunities were limited. This photograph was taken in 1880 when he was in England as a member of only the second Australian touring team. Image very slightly marked in the background; a fine example.   $650
