WISDEN, John (1826-1884). The Cricketer's Almanack for the Year 1868. London: Wisden and Maynard, 1868.
Fifth edition. A superb copy in original wrappers with pristine spine. What was in effect the first overseas tour by the M.C.C. is recorded in this edition. Their match against the Paris Club at Paris on 22 and 23 April 1867 resulted in a comfortable win; disappointingly perhaps, it cannot be considered a victory over the French since most of the Paris team have obviously English names. Played in Islington on exactly the same dates was a game between two teams with a different disability. This bizarre One Leg v One Arm contest ended in a draw, big scores being made by both Birchmore with one leg and Redfern with one arm.
Octavo (157 x 106mm). [4], 112pp. Original printed wrappers (slight chip to head of spine).
