Description / Expertise

Ref:22623
The Annals of Tennis by Julian Marshall with gilt tooled, green cloth covers showing crossed lopsided rackets. Marshall was the tennis correspondent for The Field magazine and his book is one of the most collectable for its scholarly approach to the subject. It has numerous illustrations and was the first account of the general history and description of tennis. The original owner's name Henry E. Butler and date of 1884 are written in ink and the inside cover has a fixed clipping of the Oxbridge Four Handed, matches from 1859 to 1885. The Hon. H. E. Butler of Oxford won the four handed match, with his partner, against Cambridge in 1865. Printed by Horace Cox, Strand in 1878.
