1911 REAL PHOTO POSTCARD AUSTRALIAN ELEVEN CRICKET TEAM on S. S. PERSIC

REAL PHOTO POSTCARD AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM on SS PERSIC. NOTE: HNCO are very pleased to announce that we have just acquired an extensive Cricket Collection, consisting of a large amount of Books, Memorabilia, Ephemera, etc. The collection was accumulated by the previous owner over many years and was painstakingly sourced from all parts of the world. This real photo postcard fascinates me.

It's not the 1st class Australian Cricket team, but it appears the the older gentleman in the centre is a team manager, so possibly an organised tour. I have checked the voyage. Schedule of the SS Persic, noting it left Liverpool of the 26/7/1911 & arrived at The Semaphore, South Australia on the 4/9/1911. This postcard is date October 1911, so looks like a return voyage to Liverpool.

But its coming into the Winter months in the UK. Any way, its all speculation. Its a nice piece of Cricketana!
