This panoramic image of the team that proceeded the 1925 World Champions is one we have not seen before. The fact that it promotes an illustration and design firm is a blessing. The paper stock is quite special with an extremely unusual and elegant pattern, not unlike golden fingerprints. This is an example of their advertising: "copper halftones." They declare themselves a "Safe Hit in Advertising." Great little classic baseball line drawings decorate the players, who include: Carey, Cuyler, McKechnie, Clarke and Rabbit Maranville. The NRMT print measures 13.75x7" and is nicely framed and matted to 21x14".
