Yorkshire County Cricket Team 1903. Exceptionally large original mono postcard of the team by Delittle, Fenwick & Co., York (The ‘D.F. & Co.’ Series). Titled in white within shield to lower right corner ‘Yorkshire County Cricket Team’ with names of players printed in white to lower border. Players featured are Lord Hawke (Captain), Hirst, Jackson, Smith, Hunter, Denton, Haigh, Brown, Whitehead, Rhodes, Tunnicliffe and Wilkinson. The postcard measures 9.75”x7”. Postally unused. Some wear to corners and edges, horizontal crease to top portion of the image, otherwise in good condition. A rarely seen large postcard of the Yorkshire team of 1903.
Yorkshire played Middlesex at Headingley on the 10th-12th August 1903 winning the match by 220 runs and this was the team with the exception of Whitehead who was presumably 12th man. Hirst and Rhodes took eight wickets each in the match.
