Incredible Carl Horner cabinet features the 1912 Boston Red Sox posed inside Fenway Park in its first ever season. Incredibly, it has been signed by 24 of these World Champions on the mount: Tris Speaker, Harry Hooper, Smoky Joe Wood, Hugh Bradley, Jake Stahl, Larry Gardner, Marty Krug, Clyde Engle, Olaf Henriksen, Les Nunamaker, Larry Pape, Ray Collins, Hugh Bedient, Hick Cady, Steve Yerkes, Duffy Lewis, Joe Quinn, Pinch Thomas, Neal Ball, Charley Hall, Heinie Wagner, Bill Carrigan and Buck O'Brien. There is a Horner Boston cartouche in the lower right. The cabinet measures 22x18" and has some minor wear to the mount but the image and signatures are beyond compare. Horner was the preeminent baseball photographer of 19th and early 20th century taking images the many of the key baseball tobacco card sets. Best known for his landmark portrait of Honus Wagner, which appears on the T206 tobacco card that is a juggernaut of the hobby. The 1912 Boston Red Sox dominated their competition in the American League that year and captured the World Series in 8 games over the New York Giants most known for Fred Snodgrass' infamous "$30,000 Muff." This is simply unlike anything we have seen. The fact that it this is 1) one of the great teams and franchises, 2) an incredibly important photograph that this is the only one that is known to exist, 3) it is by one of the game's true auteur photographers, 4) it is signed, that is correct SIGNED is just insane. But this is the kind of insanity we welcome. Comes with PSA LOA.
