Richard Alfred Young. Sussex & England 1905-1925. Excellent studio portrait of Young taken on the M.C.C. tour of Australia in 1907/08. Young is pictured wearing suit and tie. The photograph nicely signed in black ink by Young ‘yours ever’ 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, 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
Young played in two Tests for England, both the 1907/08 tour to Australia.
