It's ten times nicer than the photos. It looks like he spent 100s of hours on it. The background for all the printing is the same light sepia as the background for the portrait, and he's incorporated the stitches into the disigns on both sides. The "HOSS RADBOURNE" is not a true red, but a sort of red-brown, and the painting of the photo with the bird looks like a true photograph. I love the way the stiches on the right of the photo go right across the faces of the two men to Hoss's right.

One side of the printing deals with his stats, election to Hall, his personality, brith and death, and the other side with his miraculous season of 1884.
