“Vermont Find” N173 Old Judge Cabinet-Style Photograph of John Doran.
Lot 35. “Vermont Find” N173 Old Judge Cabinet-Style Photograph of John Doran. Represented by two different images in the N170 Old Judge set, Doran played for Omaha in the Western Association. This 4.25” x 6.25” photo came from a collection discovered in Vermont. This “find” included 50 original glass-plate negatives used in the production of Old Judge cabinet cards. The photo has Doran’s name at the bottom, as well as “Copyright 1888 Goodwin & Co.” Apparently photos from this find were originally sold in 2004 as dating from 1888. It seems more likely, however, that they were printed in the early 1900s, possibly as early as 1902. Showing Doran with a ring bat, the photo exhibits numerous light stress creases, which are visible primarily when the photo is held at a certain angle to light, and strong contrast. Doran later played briefly for the Louisville Colonels of the American Association, which was considered a major league at the time. Very strong photo.
Winning Bid $201.
