Classic photograph (4 ? x 6”) of the founding father of American Football captures Walter Camp in the 1910’s, when he was continuing to mold his vision of football into the game as we know it today. Way past his stellar playing days (1877 - 1882) at Yale, the Camp, in this sepia-toned formal portrait, continued to be important in creating the rules in which fair play could thrive, including his integral involvement in establishing the N.C.A.A. (National Collegiate Athletic Association), and as the leader of the American Football Rules Committee. Important to Camp was the character and the quality of play in his sport, and not surprising, he is credited with selecting the first All-American team, thus placing sportsmanship and athletic skills as beacons with which football could be recognized. As player, coach, and revolutionary mover and shaker of the sport, Walter Camp was, and is, American football. This rare image from the Culver archives has their stamp on the back. EX condition.
