England Versus Australia by David Frith is one of the definitive visual chronicles of the Ashes rivalry, tracing the complete history of Test matches between England and Australia from the inaugural 1877 contest through to the mid-1970s.
 
Subtitled “A Pictorial History of the Test Matches Since 1877 in 1000 Pictures”, this lavishly illustrated volume combines archival photography, match summaries, and historical commentary to capture the evolution of cricket’s most famous contest.
 
With forewords by Sir Donald Bradman and Sir Leonard Hutton, two of the greatest names in cricket history, the book provides a rare first-hand link to the golden eras of both nations. The coverage includes famous series such as Bodyline (1932–33), Bradman’s batting dominance, and the rise of post-war heroes on both sides.
 
It remains a monumental reference work, bridging sporting history, photography, and cultural memory in one substantial volume.
 
This 1977 first edition is among the most collectible Ashes pictorial histories, produced during a period when few comprehensive visual records existed.
