In the late 1920's Norman Loudon, who later went on to found Shepperton Film Studios, was experimenting with high speed photography, producing flicker books which he thought could prove an invaluable aid to sportsmen looking to improve their technique by observing the top players in each field in great detail at each stage of their actions.

1st edition. 2x3", 102pp. This volume number 9 of the 'Flicker: Teach the Game - First series' depicting 'Bunny' Austin demonstrating two shots, "Forehand and Backhand Drive", one running each way through the book. Internally very good, clean and bright. In the original slightly tanned green card wraps, small stain from staple. A very good lightly 'flicked' volume of this scarce book.
