Unique
Bradman Item

BRADMAN, SIR
DONALD.
To Mary, on
his 21st birthday.
A fully signed, long, and interesting entry in Bradman's own
hand on the occasion of his 21st Birthday on the 27th August
1929, in an autograph book owned by Mary Gjedsted. She was the
daughter of Henry and Mildred Gjedsted: Henry was the secretary
of the J. C. Williamson theatre Company of Sydney. The entry
is eleven lines long, and addressed to "Dear Mary"
There are over 80 other entries in the well used album, mostly
friends and relatives, but including Peter Dawson, the singer
and Len W. Lower, the humourist. The album itself is well worn,
with both covers detached, the contents loose. The pages themselves
are clean enough: that with the Bradman entry is slightly browned
on the left hand edge, but is overall good and clean. A
very early and revealing manuscript, written just nine months
and four tests after his test debut with the Australian cricket
team. In the entry Sir Donald outlines briefly his life philosophy
by quoting a few lines of poetry, and then writes down what
they mean to him and how he applies the principles expounded
to his own life. Bradman was in Sydney in the winter of 1929,
but so far we have not been able to discover where he spent
his 21st birthday, and in what circumstances he would have met
Mary Gjedsted. A rare, charming and unique piece of Bradman
memorabilia, giving rich insight into the developing cricketer's
attitudes and beliefs. AUD $6000.00
