The photograph appears to have been laid down in the past, so card and adhesive marks to verso, 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
