Framed 1948 “Invincibles” Team-Signed Souvenir Book, Featuring Rare Sidney Barnes Ink Signature Arthur Morris’s personal copy of the 1948 Cricket: The Ashes tour book, which he carried and had signed by members of the legendary squad. The "Impossible" Signature: This item features the rarest signature in Australian cricket: Sidney Barnes, hand-signed in ink. Known for his eccentricities and frequent refusal to sign for the public, a Barnes signature is the missing piece in almost every 1948 collection. Here, it is preserved in high fidelity, signed for his opening partner and friend, Arthur Morris. This book contains a verified signature from members of the 1948 Invincibles, including: Sir Donald Bradman (Capt.) Sidney Barnes (Rare Ink Signature) Lindsay Hassett Ray Lindwall Keith Miller (And all remaining touring members) Provenance: Directly from the estate of Arthur Morris. The internal signatures and the personal nature of the book distinguish it from any other 1948 team-signed item offered in recent decades. Many "team signed" items from 1948 are missing one or two players (often Barnes or Miller). Having 100% of the squad makes this a "complete set." There is immense historical value in having the book of one opening batsman (Morris) signed by the other (Barnes). Item Size: Height: 75cm, Width: 85cm Condition: Good - Refer To Images 488419+1
