[Cricket]. [OLDFIELD, William Albert (Bert)]. MOORE, May

A vintage gelatin silver photograph of the Australian Test cricketer Bert Oldfield, taken in Sydney in the mid-1920s. William Albert Oldfield (1894-1976), described by Jack Hobbs as the 'best wicketkeeper of his time', played for NSW and Australia, and his Test career of 54 matches ran from 1920 to 1937. This photograph is a fine sepia-toned head-and-shoulders studio portrait of Oldfield in a suit; he has signed and dated it (1926) in ink in the bottom right-hand corner, above the ink signature of the photographer May Moore. The image size is 280 × 180 mm, and it is now archivally matted, ready for framing

New Zealand-born May Moore (1881-1931) emigrated to Australia in 1910 and opened her first studio the following year in Sydney. Working initially together with her sister Mina (who ran her own studio in Melbourne from 1916), her excellent portrait photography attracted a large clientele, especially among artistic circles.

CRONJE, Wessel Johannes ('Hansie') [1969-2002: Orange Free State, Leicestershire and South Africa]

A signed colour photograph (260 x 350 mm) taken before the Test match in Adelaide in 1994. It features the two captains, Cronje and Border, in tracksuits in front of the empty Giffen Stand, gazing upwards with happy expectation at the coin that Border has just flipped. The caption on the verso simply states '1994. The Toss'; subsequent events have provided ample scope for more waggish alternatives. However, when the image was inscribed in black felt-tipped pen 'Best wishes Hansie Cronje 30-1-98', the future was a foreign country yet to be visited .. In fine condition and definitely unique

DARLING, Joseph [1870-1946: SA and Australia]

An albumen paper cabinet photograph (image size approximately 150x100mm) laid down on the blind-stamped card of H. Parker Rolfe of Philadelphia; it dates from the short visit to America made on the homeward journey of the 1896 Australian touring team to England. It is a posed outdoor shot of the batsman at the crease; it is inscribed ('yours sincerely') and signed in ink in the bottom right-hand corner of the image. The surface of the image is slightly scuffed and the mount has a trifling surface chip; overall it is in excellent condition. Joe Darling 'was one of Australia's finest batsmen and Test captains'; he was captain in 21 of his 34 Test matches. This was his first of four successive tours of England; on each of them, he scored over 1000 runs, usually as an opener. He was captain of the last three tours, which included the Ashes-winning 1899 and 1902 sides; under his captaincy in England, his teams played 107 first-class matches, losing only eight. (Information from Martin-Jenkins, 1995 and OCAC, 1996)

DONNAN, Henry [1864-1956: NSW and Australia]

An albumen paper cabinet photograph (image size approximately 150x100mm) laid down on the blind-stamped card of H. Parker Rolfe of Philadelphia; it dates from the short visit to America made on the homeward journey of the 1896 Australian touring team to England. It is a posed outdoor shot of the batsman at the crease; it is inscribed ('Yours Truly .. 3.10.96') and signed in ink in the bottom right-hand corner of the image. The surface of the image is slightly scuffed and the mount has a few minor surface chips; overall it is in excellent condition. Henry Donnan made only the one tour and he played in only five Test matches; 'he made 1009 runs but was disappointing in the Tests'. His main claim to fame is that in 'the first of all Sheffield Shield matches, in 1892/3, [he] scored the competition's first century, against SA in Adelaide' (OCAC)

ELLIS, John Leslie [1890-1974: Victoria and 1926 Australian touring team]

An original signed gelatin silver photograph (140x80mm) of Jack Ellis, a member of the 1926 Australian Test touring team to England; he was Bert Oldfield's deputy but did not play in a Test match. It is a full-length portrait, taken while on tour (and probably during a practice session); he is wearing an Australian pullover and cap, holding a bat. It is signed clearly in ink across the image; it is slightly crazed with two short clean marginal tears, and several light marginal marks (all well away from the image); in very good condition, tipped onto a slightly larger piece of card. The provenance for the photograph is superb: it comes from the personal collection of team member Jack Gregory (1895-1973) of the famous Australian cricketing family - son of Charles, nephew of Dave, cousin of Syd, 'Cricketer in Excelsis' according to Sir Neville Cardus in the Wisden obituary; he broke down physically on this tour, and his career ended in November 1928

[England, 1939 and West Indies, 1939]

An end-of-match scorecard (265x150mm) for the Third (and final) Test between England and the West Indies held over three days at The Oval, 19-22 August 1939. The result was a draw: England 353 (Constantine 5-75) and 3 for 366 (Hutton 165 not out, Hammond 138); West Indies 498 (Weekes 137). 'The worsening international situation brought the tour to an abrupt halt on 24 August' (Wynne-Thomas) and the final seven matches were abandoned. Ten days later, on 3 September 1939, Great Britain declared war on Germany, and Test cricket ceased for the duration. Very slightly foxed near the top edge; in excellent condition

(Offered together with a scorecard for the First Test at Lord's over three days on 24-27 June. West Indies batted first - Headley 106; Copson 5-85 - and the card is complete to the fall of the first England wicket at 49. 240x125mm, creased where folded in four; in very..... More
