WISDEN, John. Cricketers' Almanack for 1902, edited by Sydney H. Pardon. London: John Wisden and Co., 1902. 8° (164 x 100mm). Mounted photographic plate. A few leaves uncut. Original publisher’s hardback cloth, lettered in gilt on upper cover and spine, original printed yellow wrappers used as endpapers (front cover somewhat soiled, stain affecting one letter on cover, corners lightly rubbed, bookplate over advertisement on front pastedown).
SEVENTH HARDBACK EDITION, thirty-ninth in the series, published the same year as Beatrix Potter’s Tale of Peter Rabbit and Kipling’s Just So Stories. The ‘sensation of the season’ is the Notts v Yorkshire match at Trent Bridge, the Notts Eleven finding Rhodes and Haigh so unplayable on a sticky wicket that they are all out for 13 in the first innings, the lowest total then ever made in county cricket. The Cambridgeshire batting averages include the first mention of Jack Hobbs in Wisden.
