South Africa tour to England 1904. An original, unusual and possibly unique ‘List of Matches’ card produced in the style of a membership/ fixture booklet and issued to the ‘Hon. J.D. Logan’ as a pass to allow Logan entrance to cricket grounds for all matches on the 1904 tour, which Logan had financed. The folding card with cloth covers and printed title to front ‘South African Cricket Team 1904’, printed tour fixtures to centre and fold out page, which reads ‘This card admits to Pavilion at all matches excepting those played at Lords, where a special stand is reserved’. Very good condition.
Scottish-born James Douglas Logan was a South African politician and cricket patron, one of the ‘founding fathers’ and a major benefactor of South African cricket, who used his wealth and influence to promote the game. He financed the tours to England in 1901 and 1904 and presented the Logan Cup in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) which continues today as the premier domestic first-class competition. See also the following lot.
