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 & 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 .

PC_Cricketers01Bernard James Tindal Bosanquet (13 October 1877 – 12 October 1936) was an English cricketer best known for inventing the googly. Bosanquet, who played first-class cricket for Middlesex between 1898 and 1919, appeared in seven Test matches for England as an all-rounder. He was chosen as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1905. Sir Pelham Francis Warner, MBE (2 October 1873 – 30 January 1963), affectionately and better known as Plum Warner or "the Grand Old Man" of English cricket, was a Test cricketer and cricket administrator. As a right-hand batsman, Warner played first-class cricket for Oxford University, Middlesex and England. He played 15 Test matches, captaining in 10 of them, with a record of won 4, lost 6. He was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1904 and also in 1921, making him one of two to have received the honour twice (the usual practice is that it is only won once: the other is Jack Hobbs). After retiring as a player, he became a tour manager, most notably on the infamous "Bodyline" tour of Australia in 1932–33. He was the chairman of the England Test selectors for several years in the 1930s. He later became President of the Marylebone Cricket Club. He was knighted for his services to cricket in 1937. Reginald Erskine Foster (16 April 1878 – 13 May 1914), nicknamed Tip Foster, commonly designated R. E. Foster in sporting literature, was an English first-class cricketer and footballer. He is the only man to have captained England at both sports. He played in 8 Tests between 1903 and 1907. Foster first played for Oxford University in 1897. He had played for Worcestershire while they were still a minor county but in 1899, their inaugural season as a first-class county, he and his brother Wilfrid Foster both scored two hundreds in a match (against Hampshire), a feat which remains unique in county cricket. In 1900, as captain of Oxford, he scored 171 to set the record for the highest individual score in the Varsity Match, and he scored 102 not out and 136 for the Gentlemen against the Players at Lord's, the first man to score two centuries in a match in the Gentleman v Players series. In total, Foster scored 930 runs at an average of 77.5 for Oxford in the 1900 season, a record in University cricket. For these performances, Foster was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1901.
PC_Cricketers02George Rubens Cox (29 November 1873 – 23 March 1949) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Sussex from 1895 to 1928. In the later part of his life he became generally known as George Cox senior in order to distinguish him from his son George Cox junior, who was also a successful player for the same county. Ernest Harry "Tim" Killick (17 January 1875 – 29 September 1948) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Sussex from 1893 to 1913. Cyril Herbert George Bland (23 May 1872 – 1 July 1950) was an English cricketer active from 1897 to 1904 who played for Sussex.
PC_Cricketers03Wilfred Rhodes (29 October 1877 – 8 July 1973) was an English professional cricketer who played 58 Test matches for England between 1899 and 1930. In Tests, Rhodes took 127 wickets and scored 2,325 runs, becoming the first Englishman to complete the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in Test matches. Rhodes played for Yorkshire and England into his fifties, and in his final Test in 1930 was, at 52 years and 165 days, the oldest player who has appeared in a Test match. John Thomas Tyldesley (22 November 1873 – 27 November 1930) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Lancashire and Test cricket for England. He was a specialist batsman, usually third in the batting order, who rarely bowled and generally fielded in outfield positions. Born at Worsley, Lancashire, Tyldesley began his first-class career with Lancashire in 1895 and was a regular player until the First World War began in August 1914. He played Test cricket from 1899 to 1909. Tyldesley served in the British Army during the war, attaining the rank of corporal, and then recommenced his Lancashire career in 1919. He effectively retired from first-class cricket at the end of that season, but did make one further appearance in 1923. Through the 1920s, Tyldesley ran a sports goods shop on Deansgate in Manchester. He played for Lancashire Second XI for some years until the end of the 1926 season when he concentrated on coaching. George Herbert Hirst (7 September 1871 – 10 May 1954) was a professional English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1891 and 1921, with a further appearance in 1929. One of the best all-rounders of his time, Hirst was a left arm medium-fast bowler and right-handed batsman. He played in 24 Test matches for England between 1897 and 1909, touring Australia twice. He completed the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in an English cricket season 14 times, the second most of any cricketer after his contemporary and team-mate Wilfred Rhodes. He was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year for 1901.
PC_Cricketers04Edward George Arnold (7 November 1876 – 25 October 1942) was an English cricketer who played in ten Test Matches from 1903 to 1907, and most of his 343 first-class matches for Worcestershire between 1899 and 1913. Albert Edward Relf (26 June 1874 – 26 March 1937) was a professional cricketer who played for Sussex and England. He played Minor Counties cricket for Norfolk, a coaching engagement with the Earl of Wilton at Houghton Hall gaining him a residential qualification. At the age of 25, he returned to Sussex to play for the county of his birth, initially enjoying mixed success. Most of Relf's 13-match Test career was played on two tours to South Africa in 1905–06 and 1913–14, and he played only once against Australia in England, taking five wickets for 85 in a total of 350 at Lord's in 1909. In county cricket, Relf was prolific, achieving the "double" of 1000 runs and 100 wickets eight times, with a best in 1913 of 1846 runs and 141 wickets. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1914. Arthur Fielder (19 July 1877 – 30 August 1949) was an English professional cricketer who played as a fast bowler for Kent and England from 1900 to 1914. He played a major role in Kent's four County Championship wins in the years before World War I and toured Australia twice with the England team making six Test match appearances. He was chosen as one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1907. Albert Ernest Knight (8 October 1872 in Leicester – 25 April 1946 in Edmonton, Middlesex) was an English professional cricket player. From 1895 until 1912 he played for Leicestershire. He represented England in three matches of the 1903–04 Ashes series against Australia, with a highest score of 70 not out at Sydney. He had had his most successful domestic season in 1903, scoring 1834 runs at an average of 45.85, including his highest score of 229 not out against Worcestershire.
PC_Cricketers05Herbert "Bert" Strudwick (28 January 1880 – 14 February 1970) was an English professional cricketer who played for Surrey and England as wicket-keeper. During his career, his record of 1493 dismissals is the third highest by any wicket-keeper in the history of first-class cricket. Strudwick first played for Surrey in a few games in 1902, but during his first full season the following year he dismissed a record 91 batsmen (71 catches and 20 stumpings) – a feat made more remarkable by the decline of Surrey's top fast bowlers Tom Richardson and William Lockwood and the exceptionally wet weather of that summer. He played his first Test in 1909/1910 against South Africa. In 1911, though overshadowed in county cricket by Kent veteran Fred Huish, Studwick was chosen as the first-choice wicket-keeper to Australia because of his relative youth. After World War I halted county cricket, Strudwick re-established himself in the England side until he retired in 1927 – though he was dropped to improve the batting during the disastrous 1921 series against Armstrong's Australia. After his playing days he became a respected coach and for many years was the Surrey scorer. Thomas Walter Hayward (29 March 1871 – 19 July 1939) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Surrey and England between the 1890s and the outbreak of World War I. He was primarily an opening batsman, noted especially for the quality of his off-drive. He was only the second batsman to reach the landmark of 100 first-class centuries, following WG Grace. In the 1906 English season he scored 3,518 runs, a record aggregate since surpassed only by Denis Compton and Bill Edrich in 1947. Leonard Charles Braund (18 October 1875 – 23 December 1955) was a cricketer who played for Surrey, Somerset and England. He was an all-rounder, a versatile batsman who could defend or attack according to the needs of the game and a leg break bowler who used variation more than accuracy to take wickets. He was also regarded by contemporaries as the best slip fielder of his time. Braund played 21 times from 1896 for Surrey before joining Somerset, where he had to qualify for County Championship games by residence. His proper career starts from 1901, and in his first full season he scored more than 1,000 runs and took over 100 wickets. Meanwhile, Braund had become a Test cricketer, selected for the 1901–02 England tour of Australia. Named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1902. In all, he played 23 Tests, scoring 987 runs and taking 47 wickets. After retiring, Braund coached at Cambridge University and was a first-class umpire for 18 seasons to 1938, standing in three Test matches between 1926 and 1929. Arthur Frederick Augustus "Dick" Lilley (28 November 1866 – 17 November 1929) was an English cricketer who played for Warwickshire and England. He played in 35 Tests from 1896 to 1909, more than any other England wicket-keeper in the first sixty years of Test cricke
PC_Cricketers06Victor Thomas Trumper (2 November 1877 – 28 June 1915) was an Australian cricketer known as the most stylish and versatile batsman of the Golden Age of cricket, capable of playing match-winning innings on wet wickets his contemporaries found unplayable. He was the first cricketer to score 7 and 8 centuries in Test match cricket. Reginald Alexander "Reggie" Duff (17 August 1878 – 13 December 1911) was an Australian cricketer who played in 22 Tests between 1902 and 1905. He made his Test debut against England at Melbourne in 1901–02 and scored 104 after being held back until No. 10 in the second innings due to a bad pitch. This was the first instance of a No. 10 scoring a hundred on debut and one of only four centuries from that low in the order by anyone. He also scored a century in his last Test match, becoming the first batsman to score a century on Test debut as well as to score a century in his farewell Test match. William Peter Howell (29 December 1869 - 14 July 1940) was an Australian cricketer who played in 18 Tests from 1898 to 1904. He was born in Penrith, New South Wales and died in Castlereagh, New South Wales. Howell played in his first test match against England at Adelaide Oval in January 1898 and made two trips to England in 1899 and 1902, and to South Africa in 1902. James Joseph Kelly (10 May 1867 – 14 August 1938), nicknamed 'Stumper', was a wicket-keeper who played for Australia and New South Wales. He was Australia's first choice Test keeper from 1896 to 1905 and named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1903. He toured England four times (1896, 1899, 1902 and 1905) and was also an able batsman, with a first-class average of 19.94 and a highest score of 108*. His career came to an end from medical advice, as he was struck above the heart while keeping during a test at Old Trafford.
Australian touring party in England April - August 1930Unused postcard - Pub: E T W Dennis & Sons Ltd, Scarborough (PC_Cricketers07) This tour is remembered particularly for the batting successes of Don Bradman. Following innings of 131 at Nottingham and 254 at Lord's, he made 334 which eclipsed the previous highest score ever obtained in Test Matches between England and Australia - 287 by the late R. E. Foster at Sydney during the MCC tour of 1903-4. As if that were not sufficient, Bradman, although failing at Manchester, scored 232 in the final Test Match at Kennington Oval. Detailed reports on the tour as a whole and the individual Test and other matches can be found here .

In Tests, Rhodes took 127 wickets and scored 2,325 runs, becoming the first Englishman to complete the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in Test matches. Rhodes played for Yorkshire and England into his fifties, and in his final Test in 1930 was, at 52 years and 165 days, the oldest player who has appeared in a Test match.

PC_Cricketers11James Seymour (25 October 1879 – 30 September 1930) was an English professional cricketer who played primarily for Kent County Cricket Club in the early years of the 20th century. Seymour made 553 first-class cricket appearances in a career that lasted from 1900 until 1926, scoring over 27,000 runs in his career. He was born in West Hoathly in Sussex on 25 October 1879 and died on 30 September 1930 four years after he completed his cricket career. Frederick Henry (Fred) Huish (15 November 1869 – 16 March 1957), known as Fred Huish, was an English professional cricketer who played as a wicket-keeper for Kent County Cricket Club in the period before the First World War. Huish played over 450 times for Kent and was part of the sides which won four County championship titles in the Golden Age of cricket leading up to the war. He holds the record for the most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in first-class cricket who did not play a Test match. Huish became an influential figure and senior professional at Kent at a time when amateur cricketers were the only acceptable captains in English county cricket. He was described in his Wisden obituary as "one of the ablest and least demonstrative wicket-keepers of his generation". William John (Bill) Fairservice (16 May 1881 – 26 June 1971) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club between 1902 and 1921. He was a right-arm medium-pace off-break bowler who batted in the lower order and played over 300 first-class matches in his career. After his cricketing career he coached cricket and was a scorer.
PC_Cricketers12Albert John Young "Bert" Hopkins (3 May 1874 – 25 April 1931) was an Australian cricketer and Penrith bee-farmer who played in 20 Tests between 1902 and 1909. An all-rounder, Hopkins was a competent bowler and batsman in Australian domestic cricket for New South Wales, however he was less frequently called on to bowl in Test matches. In the second Test at Lord's in 1902, under captain Joe Darling, Hopkins opened the bowling for Australia with Ernie Jones. Hopkins took the first two wickets of the English team, the famed batsmen C. B. Fry and Ranjitsinhji, both for ducks. These were the only two wickets that fell in the match, which was abandoned not long afterwards owing to persistent rain. He worked in the Probate Office of New South Wales for more than 25 years. He died in hospital in April 1931 after a short illness, 8 days before his 57th birthday. Albert "Tibby" Cotter (3 December 1883 – 31 October 1917) was an Australian cricketer who played in 21 Test matches between 1904 and 1912. Although only 5'8" /173 cm tall (the same height as Harold Larwood), he was arguably the best fast bowler through the first decade of the 20th century. He had a reputation for breaking stumps and acquired the nickname “Terror Cotter” from English fans. He served in World War I with the First Australian Imperial Force and was killed in action in the mounted charge of the 4th Light Horse Brigade at Beersheba in Ottoman Palestine. Donald Raeburn Algernon “Algy” Gehrs (29 November 1880 – 25 June 1953) was an Australian cricketer who played in 6 Tests as batsman, leg break bowler and wicketkeeper.
