Three sepia-toned black and white photographs of Victorian cricket teams

Three sepia-toned black and white photographs of Victorian cricket teams comprising: (i) the celebrated Hearne family of cricketers, dated 1888, by C. Eden of Ealing, with printed player legend; (ii) the South of England side (v. Australia, 1893), by G.W. Bradshaw of Hastings; (iii) and another South of England side inscribed v. Australia, 1896, by G. Churchill of Eastbourne, all mounted, framed and glazed the largest image 23.5 by 28cm., 9 1/4 by 11in. The Hearne family of Middlesex and Kent produced no less than eleven cricketers who played first-class cricket. Namely, Thomas (b.1826, Middlesex), George (b.1829, Middlesex), Thomas jnr (b.1863, Kent & England), Frank (b.1858, Kent, England & South Africa), George Francis (b.1851, M.C.C.), George Gibbons (b.1856, Kent & England), Herbert (b.1862, Kent), John (b.1867, Middlesex & England), Thomas (b.1887, Middlesex), Walter (b.1864, Kent) and George Alfred (b.1888, Western Province & South Africa). The 1893 South of England side comprised: Grace, Stoddart, Ferris, Hewett, A. Hearne, Read, Tindall, Lockwood, J.T. Hearne, Wickham and Richardson. The 1896 team appears to be misidentified by the inscription (v. Australia), as the photographic team line-up does not conform to the side listed in Wisden.

A handsome set of Dickens's five Christmas Books—all first editions in their original gilt cloth bindings. Dickens first had his conception of A Christmas Carol in October 1843, and by the end of the month had John Leech, a fine artist introduced to him by Cruickshank, working on illustrations. By 10 November he was discussing the cover and advertising with Forster. As he told his Boston friend Felton, he composed the story in his head while walking around "the back streets of London, fifteen and twenty miles, many a night when all the sober folks had gone to bed" (see Tomalin, p. 148), frequently weeping and laughing and weeping again as he worked and strode about. Like Carlyle and Engels, Dickens was fired up with anger at the indifference of the rich to the fate of the poor, who had almost no access to education, no care in sickness, saw their young children set to work for ruthless factory-owners, and could consider themselves lucky if they were only half-starved. But it was Dickens's special genius to express this anger in a completely compelling narrative, putting into it all his vivid childhood memories of Camden Town and his own labor as a child together with the great insight that a grown man may pity the child he had been, resulting in an artistic creation which has captivated readers and audiences throughout the world ever since, and which simultaneously invented the modern idea of the joyous Christmas festival.
