  • Condition: This limited print, which measures 9.9" x 7.5", was printed on to canvas and mounted on to an acid-free 11" x 14" beveled mat. The mat is attached to a 4-ply, acid-free backing board and is protected with a removable, Krysta Seal transparent plastic covering. The mat is intended to protect the print, but it can be framed as is, or can easily be disassembled without harming the underlying canvas print or matting material. Please note that the mat opening is 9.5" x 7.5" and does not perfectly match the opening in the pre-cut mat.

    Photo Subject:
    This is the Opening Day photo of the Boston Beaneaters who were playing the New York Giants at the original Polo Grounds at 5th Avenue and 110th Street.
    Fun Fact:
    The individual on the back row, far left is Hall of Famer “Old Hoss” Radbourn. He is credited with having pitched 59 wins in 1884. There is some disagreement over the actual number of wins, with some claiming a win total as high as 62. Still, this is a record that should stand the test of time.
    But back to the photo . . . If you take a closer look at his left hand; yes, “Old Hoss” is making an obscene gesture. Many believe this is the first photographic capture of the bird. Was he flipping off the photographer, or as some suggest, a member of the New York Giants team who captured his ire.
    Original Painting Detail (not this Print):
    Printed on 13” x 19” canvas and painted using Schmincke Mussini oil paints. Finer details were made using Prismacolor pencils.
