    This photo has only 34 of the 35 First Kangaroos(Pat Walsh played 29 matches(3 Tests) on the 1908-09 tour)

    great period photo, but whats the story with the player on the left of the front row in an arm chair?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    The player on the left has been whited out so that this part of the photograph could be reproduced in the text of a magazine as an illustration. Rather than reproduce a regular four sided part of the photograph with background included, it was fashionable to reproduce only the figure on the white page in some newspapers and magazines. RW

    State Library of New South Wales thank you kindly for the explanation, much appreciated

    PS that's a pleasure SkyeBaggie! The photograph was probably used in the magazine called The Referee which covered sport for New South Wales from 1886-1939

    The black Jersey with the silver fern emblem are of the All Blacks New Zealand rugby union team. The site saintsandheathens.wordpress.com/wallabies-rugby-jerseys/w... says that the Australian rugby union team (Wallabies) jersey for 1938 was 'gold with a green centre band' for a match against New Zealand. It does not list this jersey colours used for any other year. Matches between Australia and New Zealand were played in 1938 as follows 13 August 1938Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney 6 August 1938Exhibition Ground, Brisbane 23 July 1938Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney This photo is likely to be of one of these matches. The Houses in the background look to be typical of Queensland architecture of the time - elevated timber buildings. I therefore suggest that this is a photo of Australia v New Zealand dated 6th August 1938 at the exhibition grounds Brisbane.

    Fantastic detective work Peter McCombe ! Thanks for sharing this info. We would have to agree with you on all accounts. It's likely the game is in Brisbane as George Jackman was a photographer for the Brisbane newspapers The Courier Mail and The Daily Mail from 1920 -1945.
