Description:
Don Bradman: c1931 poster 'We've kept him here for you -', published by Palmers, 2UE & Associated Newspapers, process screen poster montage with letterpress text and captions, size 81 x 51 cm. Condition C (some missing portions, tears and creases, mounted on board). Text includes 'How it was done. When it became known that Don was likely to be lost to Cricket in Australia, F.J. Palmer and Son Ltd took immediate action to prevent what would have been nothing less than a tragedy. Radio 2UE Sydney Ltd and Associated Newspapers Ltd became associated with Palmers in their effort and negotiations were immediately entered into whereby the 'Don' remains in Australia. He can be seen at Palmers, heard on 2UE and his articles read in The Sun and The Sunday Sun. Thus was Australia's Cricket Idol saved for the sporting community of his native country. To commemorate the occasion of Don Bradman linking up with the three companies concerned, we have illustrated some of the principal events of his brilliant career. See him at Palmers, Park Street, Sydney. Sports Adviser'.
