Arthur Owen Jones. Nottinghamshire & England 1892-1914. Excellent studio portrait of Jones, the M.C.C. Captain, taken on the M.C.C. tour of Australia in 1907/08. Jones is pictured wearing pin stripe suit and tie. The photograph nicely signed in black ink by Jones to the image. The photograph measures 5”x7.5”. The photograph appears to have been laid down in the past, so card and adhesive marks to verso, some surface damage to the top right hand corner, rough irregular edge to the photograph otherwise in good condition. A rare studio portrait of the player from the tour. Formerly from the cricket collection of Sydney Francis Barnes, Warwickshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, England & Wales 1894-1930.
Arthur Jones only captained England on this tour and even then he only captained the team in the first two Tests due to injury and Frederick Luther Fane took over the captaincy for the remaining three Tests
