Magnificent albumen image on original cardboard mount shows them loaded with period football gear and regalia. Stunning 19th Century football signed photograph depicts a high school team, carrying their richly deserved game winning ball which appears to read "BH" (Boston High?). At the bottom it is actually ink signed by the players with 14 signatures. Autographs are EX; photo is in immaculate condition as far as the photo, we cannot see the rest of the mount but it appears to be EX at least. Photo is 10x13"; matte is about 14x14” and framed to overall 19x18”. The earliest team signed photo of Footballers we have ever seen. As for the rest of the world, check with Canton.
