'1902 Australian XI'. A superb vintage gelatin silver photograph by Thomas Bolland of London (a gigantic 440 × 600 mm, glazed, with the original calligraphic mount and ornate frame) of the entire fourteen-man squad to tour England
The almost-Invincibles (they lost just two matches out of 39) are Darling (captain), Armstrong, Carter, Duff, Gregory, Hill, Hopkins, Howell, Jones, Kelly, Noble, Saunders, Trumble, Trumper, and the manager, Major Ben Wardill. Provenance: incredibly, from Joe Darling himself! - his bold ink signature is clearly visible on the verso of the original mount. The external dimensions of the frame are 735 mm high × 890 mm wide × 50 mm deep.
