Walter Quaife. Sussex & Warwickshire 1884-1901. Albert Craig. ‘Cricket Rhymester’ 1887. Original single sided card of a poem in four stanzas by Craig titled ‘Surrey v. Sussex at Brighton. Quaife secured his century in fine style, Aug. 1887’. Quaife scored 111, his maiden first-class century, in the first innings for Sussex in the match played at Hove 8th- 10th August 1887. Craig describes Quaife batting ‘in brilliant style... A prettier bat or a neater, I don’t think was ever yet known’. The card measures 6”x4.5”. Very good condition.
