RARE 1921 REAL PHOTO POSTCARD IPSWICH GRAMMAR SCHOOL, 1ST CRICKET ELEVEN
$70
The date of 1921 is written on the back. Minor stains but generally good condition.
This real photo postcard is fascinating. It's not the 1st class Australian Cricket team, but it appears the the older gentleman in the centre is a team manager, so possibly an organised tour. We have checked the voyage schedule of the SS Persic, noting it left Liverpool of the 26/7/1911 & arrived at The Semaphore, South Australia on the 4/9/1911. This postcard is dated October 1911, so looks like a return voyage to Liverpool. But coming into the Winter months in the UK. A possibility is that the team was headed to South Africa, as the ship would have docked in Capetown on the return voyage. Any way, its all speculation. Its a nice piece of Cricket memorabilia !!
