WISDEN – Cricketers' Almanack for 1902, edited by Sydney H. Pardon. London: John Wisden and Co., 1902.

Seventh hardback edition, 39th in the series, published the same year as Beatrix Potter’s Tale of Peter Rabbit and Kipling’s Just So Stories. The ‘sensation of the season’ is the Notts v Yorkshire match at Trent Bridge, the Notts Eleven finding Rhodes and Haigh so unplayable on a sticky wicket that they are all out for 13 in the first innings, the lowest total then ever made in county cricket. The Cambridgeshire batting averages include the first mention of Jack Hobbs in Wisden.

Octavo (164 x 100mm). Mounted photographic plate (a fine, clean copy). Original publisher’s hardback cloth, lettered in gilt on upper cover and spine, original printed yellow wrappers used as endpapers (faint rubbing to extremities, corners a trifled bumped, those to front cover slightly more affected). Provenance: Foyles (bookseller's ticket obscuring one letter on front pastedown) – evidence of inscription erased in margin of front pastedown.
