Rare Lawn Tennis programme for Sheffield and Hallamshire Tennis Tournament, 8th to 10th August 1889, eight-page on heavy paper, bearing results in black ink. The programme was the property of Mr J Parker Marsh, who was on the Organising Committee, he entered all the results into this programme with his immaculate hand-writing. Interesting too is to see the mention of the use of bisques which finished at the end of 1889. Page eight of the programme is a full page advert from the tennis items of F.H. Ayres. Overall condition if fair to good, with wear and splits to the spine, pencil and ink annotations to results pages and cover, bears marks throughout with horizontal fold
