WYNYARD, Major Edward George -- I ZINGARI, 1895. A folio album of photographs and news clippings, with initials "E.G.W." and date "Cricket 1893-94" in gilt on upper cover (but also covering the 1895 season), 30pp. (a few blank), including a very fine photograph of I Zingari, 1895 (9½ x 10¾in.) showing Baldwin, Ponsonby Fane, and William Denison with the players, with watercolour border in the team's colours and, on facing page, a montage of portraits of the team and its surviving founders, each with cut-out autograph beneath. In addition there are news reports of the I Zingari Jubilee match against the Gentlemen of England, 20-22 June, and a laid down letter from Lord Harris to Wynyard, dated Carlton Club, 18 May, asking him "to get up the team ... It is desirable that in this match the best possible Zingari Eleven should be put in the Field." The album also includes impressive photographs of I Zingari 1894, Hampshire County Eleven, 1893, 1894 & 1895, and a number of regimental teams, a small panorama of play at the Southhampton ground (4 x 9¼in.), a snapshot of the old Hampshire pavilion, several of Wynyard in the nets, plus 3 original pencil sketches of Wynyard and other cricketers, and further autographs, including that of W.G. Grace surmounted by small photographic portrait. Loosely-inserted at the front is a 9-page manuscript, presumably of a speech given by Wynyard, addressing the problem of how the M.C.C. could best change the laws in order to end "the dreary monotony of many drawn matches in first class cricket," with 2 pages of notes on American cricket attached. Bound in half morocco (spine worn).
