Brief Description
Menu from a dinner for the returning M.C.C. team that toured Australia, hosted by the Marylebone Cricket Club on 1 May 1912. The cover features a cartoon full of allusions to a just completed Test series. Titled, "THE COURT OF KING CRICKET", the English cricket team, in cricket whites and blazers, celebrate victory - four Tests to one - over the Australians. The figure at the head of the group of players offers The Ashes to the King. In the background, atop an arch bearing the years "1911-12", a lion shakes hands with a man atop a kangaroo. Printed inside the menu are the "Toasts" and "Programme of Music", and on the back cover are the "Wine List" and "Menu".
