Montague Alfred ‘Monty’ Noble. New South Wales & Australia 1893-1920. Excellent extra large ‘Imperial’ size cabinet sepia card photograph of Noble standing full length in batting pose at the wicket wearing Australia Test cap. Nicely signed in black ink to the photograph ‘Faithfully yours with best love, M.A. Noble’ and dated 10th October 1909. The photograph appears to be by T.W. Bolland of London, probably taken in 1909 during the Australian tour to England. The photograph is laid to tightly trimmed contemporary card, and measures 7”x11.5”. Some silvering to the darker areas, otherwise in excellent condition. A superb image and a rare large cabinet card in this signed form.
Monty Noble is listed as player/cap number 76 in the list of Australian Test players, making 42 Test appearances. A right-handed middle order batsman, he toured England with the Australian team on four occasions in 1899, 1902, 1905 and 1909, captaining the team in 1909.
