Fantastic panoramic photo of a match up between the Chicago Cubs and New York Giants at Wrigley Field on August 26, 1934. Taken from the left field bleachers, the photo encompasses the entire playing field and pictures the crowd in attendance that day as the fans lined the field in front of the outfield wall. The caption in the lower right corner reads "Giants vs. Cubs Wrigley Field Chicago August 26, 1934". The photo is credited to Kaufmann-Fabry, Chicago which appears in the lower left corner. Over 44,000 fans were in attendance. It was one of the largest crowds in Cubs history up to that time. The Cubs trailed the Giants by 6 1/2 games going into the game, but Lon Warneke defeated Freddie Fitzsimmons 7-1 that day to help cut the lead. Just three days later, on August 29, Warneke returned to the mound to defeat Carl Hubbell 1-0. Unfortunately, neither club could overcome the St. Louis Cardinals, who won 21 of their last 28 games in September to win the pennant. The photo measures 20.75 x 8.5 inches. Some vertical creasing on the photo exists. The piece comes with a letter of authenticity from the Chuck Klein family from whom the piece originated. A rare and exceptional piece.
