Donald George Bradman. New South Wales, South Australia & Australia 1927-1949. Excellent plain back sepia real photograph postcard of Bradman, head and shoulders, wearing Australian touring cap and sweater. The postcard very nicely signed by Bradman in ink. This is card number 3 from a series of fifteen cards produced for the Australian 1930 tour of England by B.D.V. cigarettes (Godfrey Phillips of London), number printed to lower right hand corner of card. Minor creasing to lower right corner, otherwise in very good condition. A nice image.
This was Bradman’s first tour of England. He scored 974 runs at an average of 139.14 during the Test series, with four centuries, including two double hundreds and a triple century. Bradman’s first-class tour total of 2,960 runs, at an average of 98.66 with 10 centuries, was another enduring record, the most by any overseas batsman on a tour of England
