A vintage photograph of the 'Cornwall Football Club. Season 1909. Played 18. Won 14. Lost 4'
A gelatin silver photograph (245 × 290 mm), on the original captioned mount (external dimensions approximately 335 × 367 mm).
The photograph is lightly spotted and scuffed, with a tiny chip to one edge, and the blank bottom right-hand corner tip missing; the mount has the top left-hand and bottom right-hand corners broken off, and the bottom margin is unevenly broken away, taking with it the names of half the subjects; overall, in presentable condition, now loosely backed up with stiff card in a custom-made Mylar sleeve.
Offered together with a vintage photograph of the 'Cornwall Football Club. Season 1910. Played 18. Won 15. Lost 3'. Adelaide, Frank A. McNeill, Gawler Place [Photographer], 1910. A gelatin silver photograph (240 × 290 mm), on the original captioned mount (external dimensions approximately 360 × 420 mm). The photograph is a little spotted (confined mainly to the right-hand quarter), with minor scuffing and a few marks to the surface; mount bowed and a little marked, with some loss to the edges (including portion of the first few letters of the title); overall, in good condition, now loosely backed up with stiff card in a Mylar sleeve. All present are identified in print in the bottom margin; there appear to be a reasonable number of new names and faces. The Cornwall Football Club was part of the Adelaide and Suburban Association. A report of the semi-final a couple of years later indicates they were still at the top of their game: 'The Cornwall Football Club met and defeated the Sturt Imperials on the St Francis Xavier's grounds this afternoon. The play throughout was fast and clean, and it was only in the last quarter that the Cornwalls asserted their supremacy. The winners have not yet been defeated in their association this season, and will now meet Port Uniteds in the final match' ('The Mail', 10 August 1912). [2 items].
