Cricket

Reflecting one of my main current interests outside of postcard collecting, this album contains a selection of postcards based on cricket-related images and scenes by various artists, including Tom Browne, Lance Thackeray, Fred Spurgin, E P Kinsella, Steve Garner, Charles Dana Gibson and Winifred Wimbush, as well as some photographs of famous cricketers of the Edwardian era and a collection of postcards showing how cricket-related images have been used in advertising.

His unusual given name, Friend, prompted family, friends, and neighbours to call him Fred, a name he used in all matters except legal documents. Buchanan had a long association (1908-1932) with Raphael Tuck &amp; Sons, in the course of which he did at least 26 sets of postcards. Buchanan died aged 61 in Wandsworth - see this article by Ray Hahn of the South Jersey Postcard Club about Fred Buchanan as humourist, cartoonist and postcard artist .
