This most exquisite offering is one of the finest baseball carte-de-visites we have seen. A stunning bib-front uniform and early baseball shoes lead the way, as this was prominent in a Forbes Magazine article recently published by writer David Seidman. Handcolour resonates in rich blues and reds against a muted background. Signed on verso by the photographer, Reynolds, with a Williamsburgh address. Pristine, the only flaw is rounded corners and the overall condition is EX-MT.
