On a 16 x 11 cm leaf, removed from an autograph album. In very good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Presented portrait-style, with 'ENGLAND - OVAL - 1948' neatly written at the head. Beneath this, in two irregular columns are the signatures of the players, with the exception of the signature of Eric Hollies (bowler of the ball which dismissed Bradman in the Australian second innings), the signature of substitute Reg Simpson present instead. The signatories are, in the first column: Jack Crapp, John Dewes, Allan Watkins, Jack Young, Alec Bedser, Reg Simpson (substitute for Eric Hollies); and in the second column: Norman Yardley, Bill Edrich, Denis Compton, Len Hutton (captain), Godfrey Evans (wicket-keeper).
