The photo was taken during the 1930s by Harry Krischock, who was a well known Adelaide photographer at the time. The photograph is stuck firm to a thick cardboard backing and I dare not remove it for fear of ruining the photograph. I believe this is an original photograph and not a re-print.
The photograph is in very good condition. The cardboard backing has some wear on the edges and is in fair condition.
Available free to anyone who'd like it... would be preferable if you could come pick it up from the RAAF base...

Haha!
Nah, I mean give it to Sturt.
Especially if it's a rare piece of club history...

I'm not sure if its rare... Sturt actually threw it out years back, which is how I ended up with it. That said, I've found a nice chap on here who laminates them and sends copies to the club, so I'm going to give it to him, so in the end, the club will end up with a copy.
I have another poster of Richardson, its a modern copy, but a good photo-poster thing, so I'll give that to the same guy... with any luck the club will put them up on the wall somewhere.

They threw it out?
Thought they would've at least kept it in the archives or something.
That's pretty disappointing, actually.
Though glad it's gone to a good home...

It might be Port. They wore Collingwood style jumpers for a couple of years, but not sure which years.

Port wore the Collingwood guernsey for a year or two after WW2.
Last worn in 1951 - a premiership year!
Wore the prison bars all through the 30s...

Lots of clubs weren't too worried about memorabilia and history 20+ years ago, so I don't hold it against the club. At the time they threw out a lot of old budgets, annual reports, photos, guernseys and all sorts of things.
Most of it ended up with collectors I believe... it was just what happened back then... its like the SANFL, they destroyed all their old footage of finals and so on, who would have thought they'd do that, but they did.

I've given it to a member of a footy historian club, so its being copied, laminated and sent to the club, so while the original will remain with this historian group, the club will get a nice copy to put up on the wall.

Nice work, mate.
Staggered by your post about clubs chucking stuff out.
I mean...

Glenelg chucked out/auctioned off (cheaply) a lot of club memorabilia, badges, prints etc also a few years back. If you recall the real life size tiger skin in the foyer as you walked into the club - they f#cking gave that to the zoo! Dickheads.

Little article in the Sunday Mail yesterday.
Sturt volunteer has made off with a bunch of prized memorabilia.
Club knows who the culprit is but can't track him down...

Yeah I was told about it too... amazing really...
If they know the guy, I don't know why they don't name him... could help people corner him (or her I suppose).

Can't remember if they did in the article?
Apparently he keeps changing his address and phone numbers.
