This cabinet photograph depicts the great Cy Young in a very scarce pose, from the early 1900s. The photo was used in a publication and has writing and marks on the front and back. Mounted, it measures 7.25x5.25"; the mount has embossed "Horner Boston" at the lower right corner and the photo is also marked "Horner Photo." There are some chips at the corners of the mount and some paper loss from mounting on the back, still it's hard to find an image of this type in any condition.

Addendum: Since the catalog was printed the publishing marks have been erased from the photo of the cabinet. The results were amazing-as shown. The "Page 28" was lightened , but more work needs to be done.
