Magnificent Silver Gelatin Baseball Prints (7) from the National Sports Gallery.
Lot 219. Magnificent Silver Gelatin Baseball Prints (7) from the National Sports Gallery. These previously unpublished baseball images were part of a special display at the National Sports Gallery at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., in 2000. The gallery closed in 2004. Each print is about 16” x 20” professionally matted and framed to 22 ½” x 26” or 24” x 27”. Subjects of the photos are: 1. An 1800s Kansas City, MO, team consisting of African-American players and representing barnstorming ballplayers. 2. A pick-up game, with boys choosing sides in the 1920s in front of the Washington Monument. 3. A Sunday picnic game in Wisconsin in 1885. The sepia photo shows men and women playing baseball. 4. The Harvard Baseball Club of 1867, one of the top teams in the country. 5. Alma “Gabby” Ziegler, captain of the Grand Rapids Professional Women’s Baseball Team, 1940s action photo. 6. An integrated rural Pennsylvania team in 1886. 7. The Flandreau Santee Ball Club, a 19th century Native America team that played in the Dakotas. These photos are remarkable. They belong in an art gallery. Displaying dramatically, they will become a center of conversation in a game room, family room or sports bar.
Winning Bid $572.
