Interesting to note that both of the Wynne images you've uploaded have a magenta cast. Is there a specific reason for this? I have a fading print of this photograph in the family album, which I thought of uploading to my stream, but you beat me to it. :-)

Oh sorry, Mike! I was just so eager to get it up there. Really don't know about the magenta cast - many of our Wynne photos have it, and I love it personally...

Mike Hannon said:
No need to apologise at all. It's one of those photos I was sure you'd have, and in far superior quality to the print I have. The remainder of the photographs I have are of the immediate Wynne family members, and then my Great-grandfathers offspring, so I hope to see many more of T.J's photos here.

Well, if you're uploading any of the family members to your own stream, let's know - would love to see what they looked like...

Haha! I don't think I'll go that far yet, as I only have the free account on here, and I'm limited to 200 photos. I did come across two postcards from the era that I've scanned and posted, and though the photographs aren't credited to Thomas, they may be of interest.......

I hope that the State Library of Queensland has an autographed photo of Strauss and Cook walking out to bat at the Gabba too!

Both of them had pretty neat handwriting !!

Everybody had neat handwriting then. Ball point pens hadn't been invented and fountain pens only worked properly if you wrote slowly. Handwriting practice was a key part of primary education in those days.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It's always interesting to look at sporting photos from the past and consider their achievements in light of the equipment that was used at the time. Glad you like this photo!
