Piedmont advertising display featuring portrait images of twenty members of the 1917 National League Champion Giants. Each member is identified in print directly below his respective image, including manager John McGraw, Hans Lobert, Slim Sallee, Ferdie Schupp, Jeff Tesreau, Rube Benton, Heinie Zimmerman, Art Fletcher, and Benny Kauff. As noted in the lower left corner, all the images featured here were taken by renowned baseball photographer Charles Conlon. The headline reads "New York Hoping 'Giants' Will Win Series." A colorful image of a Piedmont Cigarettes pack, "The Virginia Cigarette," appears in the lower right. The display (12.5x19"), which is printed on thin paper, features both a vertical and horizontal fold (as issued), as well as a few small edge chips and an area of tape residue on the reverse. Very Good condition.
