3 Rare Sepia Cabinet Photos of a Richmond at Hartford 1898 Atlantic League Game.
Lot 311. 3 Rare Sepia Cabinet Photos of a Richmond at Hartford 1898 Atlantic League Game. The first Atlantic League, successor to the Pennsylvania League, lasted only five seasons, 1896-1900. Another minor league with the same name was established in 1914. These sepia photos capture action, baseball and otherwise, at a game at the Hartford Base Ball Park, apparently in May 1998. Each sepia photo is about 3 ½” x 4 ½” on a mount that is 4 ¼” x 5 ¼” or larger. One photo shows fans leaving the park. A second shows part of the grandstand, and a man appears to be delivering a speech. The owner of the photo wrote in the mount “Billy Allyn orating at ball game.” The third photo shows game action. Each mount has two holes neatly punched in it, and one of the punches affects the edge of each photo. The photo with the orator has a scuff. Otherwise, the photos are well focused with decent contrast and ex-m. Each is stamped “F. S. Snow, M.D.,” on the back.
Winning Bid $102.
