Only one known of this classic lithograph of the early game. Trumpets, "FOOTBALL" in glowing color of the game of Brown vs. Dartmouth contest from Hampden Park in Springfield, Massachusetts. From an important early collection, there is a section piece missing in the center which could be redone if the desire is there. Player graphics are incredible; from the thatched pants and turn of the century noseguards to the and earliest of helmets. Dated 1902 by Superior Color Press of from of all places, Toledo, Ohio. It is incredible how rare posters of this size, quality, age and importance really are. They simply did not make these, let alone that they still exist. This is valued to fine art poster collectors as they are to sports and football collectors. Measures 28x42".
