WISDEN, John. Cricketers’ Almanack for 1901. London: John Wisden and Co., 1901. 8° (162 x 100mm). Mounted photographic plate. (Some spotting to mount and browning to adjacent text margins.) Publisher's original hardback cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, original printed yellow wrappers used as endpapers (faint rubbing to spine ends, lower corners a little bumped, bookplate covering advertisement on front pastedown). Provenance: Neville Hind July 1919 (inscription at front).
SIXTH HARDBACK EDITION, thirty-eighth edition in the series. Ranji again scores over 3000 runs, Albert Trott likewise repeats the previous season’s tally of 1000 runs and 200 wickets. Jessop excels as an all rounder, scoring 2000 runs and taking 100 wickets. Yet in his feature article on ‘Fielding in 1900’, D.L.A. Jephson complains of a decline, comparing fielders to ‘waxen figures in a third rate tailor’s shop. The energy, the life, the ever-watchfulness of ten years ago is gone, and in their place are lethargy, laziness, and a wonderful yearning for rest’. Illustrated overleaf.
