Cricketers' Almanack for 1904
WISDEN – Cricketers' Almanack for 1904, edited by Sydney H. Pardon. London: John Wisden and Co., 1904.
Ninth hardback edition, 41st in the series. ‘Deaths in 1903’ opens with obituaries of Arthur Shrewsbury who ‘shot himself on the evening of May 19’, the umpire Robert Thoms, and the cricket historian Arthur Haygarth; a separate statistical summary is given of ‘Arthur Shrewsbury in First Class Cricket’. The Philadelphians under J.A. Lester are more highly rated than their predecessors in 1897. Jessop is at his best in hitting 286 out of 353 in less than three hours for Gloucestershire against Sussex.
Octavo (161 x 100mm). Mounted photographic plate (a fine, clean copy). Original publisher’s hardback cloth, lettered in gilt on upper cover and spine, original printed yellow wrappers used as endpapers (corners and spine caps a trifle bruised, extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: ink inscription on penultimate ad. for Pears 'this is soap, not a cricket ball'.
