- Pic 26 is a De Reszke cigarette card from the 1930s. 1930 (r), 1934 (s) and 1939 (u) are already taken, so it must be 1935 (t).
So 26 - t

- Pic 14 is an Eccles (Frank Brown) cartoon from the 60s. Given 1960 (zb) is taken, I'll go with 1969 (zc).
So 14 - zc

That just about does me given the available clues from the pics.
There are plenty from the 1800s that I haven't got.

It's a guess on the basis that WG Grace after a drink... required a bit of time for that to build up and unlikely to have been earlier. Wasn't there in 1877 as well. But it's in colour - so, am likely to be completely wrong

Cheated. Did a search of lilliput vol 9 July. Returned 1941.
Although it looks like a woman in trousers... did they ever play in trousers pre 1999?

Only copyright in a title I saw for a Percy Drake Bradshaw was 1927, which was a dodgy source. So guessing it's 1928

- I could have a guess and suggest that Pic 1 may be date f - perhaps relating to that first Test series in 1877.
Maybe 1 - f

- Spoiler:
- Perhaps the 4 stumps in Pic 3 might be a hint to very early cricket time - perhaps date a (early 1840s).
Maybe 3 - a

Dammit, now I see there was a flaw in one of the years.
It appears I couldn't read my own handwriting.
Especially heinous as I actiually have a copy of the book it appeared in!
Pity also, as I tried to spread the timeline out in relatively even intervals.
Here's the corrected timeline, with the erroneous line corrected in bold - with apologies.
Timeline:
......................................
a) approx. 1840
b) 1854
c) 1863
d) 1868 USA
e) 1875
f) 1877, Australia
g) 1888
h) 1890
i) 1898
j) approx. 1900, France
k) 1905 or 1906, GB (German)
l) 1909
m) 1910-1914, USA
n) 1915, Germany
o) 1921
p) 1924
q) 1928
r) 1930
s) 1934
t) 1935
u) 1939
v) 1941, GB (Czech)
w) 1946
x) 1946, Australia
y) 1951, Italy
z) 1954
za) 1958, Australia
zb) 1960
zc) 1969
zd) 1970s
ze) 1978
zf) 1985
zg) 1988

As regards solutions ...
Thanks to Skully and others who have "had a go".
Lardy mentioned that the quiz might be an activity for the weekend. (Not the traditional "Something extra for the weekend, sir?" of barber fame.)
Whether or not he was serious, whether or not he thinks/has thought twice about it, maybe the best approach is if I deal with answers and offer the definitive solutions on Sunday p.m. (UK time) or Monday a.m. (UK).
So, a sort of "last orders" on this one.
