JAMES LILLYWHITE
Cricketers' Annual for 1872[-1900], edited by Charles W. Alcock
London: James Lillywhite, [1872-1900]. 29 vols., 8vo., frontispieces, field diagrams, 1873 with errata slip (1872 spotted, 1896-1900 with some marginal soiling), original red limp cloth (some rubbing and soiling, some spines worn and inner hinges split). Provenance: J.B. Mallam (ownership inscription in 1874) -- various inscriptions and bookplates in other vols.
The last and longest running of the Lillywhites which incorporates John Lillywhite's Cricketer's Companion from 1885 onwards. Unlike its predeccessors, it contains "a veritable treasure trove of illustrations" (West, Guide to James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual, 1993, p. 29), with two wood-engraved portraits in both 1874 and 1875, a mounted photographic frontispiece from 1876 to 1888, and a half-tone frontispiece from 1889 to 1900. A COMPLETE RUN. Allen 57; Padwick 1087. (29)
