Jos Hoover & Sons 1900 Print “A Game of Ball”
Recently picked up this large framed chromolithograph by well known printer Jos Hoover of Philadelphia. The print is dated 1900. It’s large, measuring 16”x 20” not counting the frame. What was especially interesting to me was the equipment used by the kids: Ring bat, padded catchers mitt and I believe a figure eight baseball. I believe the frame may be original, as Hoover originally opened his business as a frame shop. As far as I know, this is the only sports related he made. I also believe this one is fairly rare.
