This book is a veritable Whos Who of Victorian football players and other leading British sports personalities, resplendent with their penny-farthing bikes, medals and moustaches and in their heavy sporting kit. Includes shots of Golf Courses and Stadia. Unusually, several women are illustrated in tennis and golf.
The book is in acceptable condition for its age. The book is loosely bound and cracking at the spine, but no pages are detached. The covers are worn and a touch bowed, but not excessively so. There is light foxing, mainly to the endpapers.
