1898 With Stoddart's Team In Australia Antique Cricket Sport History Book

With Stoddart's Team In Australia
By Prince Ranjitsinhji
With A Character Sketch Of The Author And Numerous Illustrations.
Published by James Bowden: London 1898 3rd Edition

" This first edition of Anglo-Australian Cricket 1862-1926 by Percy Cross Standing offers a richly detailed and authoritative account of the formative decades of cricketing rivalry between England and Australia. Beginning with the pioneering English tour of Australia in 1862, Standing traces the evolution of international cricket through successive tours, matches, and personalities that shaped what would become one of the sport's most enduring contests. Written with clarity and enthusiasm, the narrative captures both the sporting drama on the field and the broader cultural significance of cricket within the British Empire and the emerging Australian national identity.

Standing, a respected cricket writer and author of Cricket of To-day and Yesterday, draws on extensive contemporary sources to chart the development of tactics, professionalism, and touring practices across more than sixty years. The volume includes numerous photographic illustrations of teams and players, among them iconic figures such as W. G. Grace, bringing immediacy and visual depth to the historical narrative. Published in London in 1926 by Faber and Gwyer, the book appeared at a moment when Test cricket had become firmly established, allowing Standing to assess the rivalry with both historical distance and personal familiarity.

This copy is further distinguished by its period provenance, bearing a prize bookplate from Ruthin College, Eglington, awarded in 1931 to Joshua Greaves for "General Progress," linking the volume directly to an early twentieth-century educational setting. Retained in its original green cloth binding, the book stands as both a key reference work and a tangible survivor of interwar British sporting culture, appealing particularly to collectors of cricket history, Anglo-Australian sporting relations, and early twentieth-century illustrated sports books.
