Heritage's February auction had a whole slew of things from Roger Bresnahan's estate. I won this panorama photo of a Giants-Pirates game at the Polo Grounds in May of 1905. The accompanying LOA stated that it belonged to Bresnahan and it is he crouched behind home plate taking Iron Man McGinnity's pitches. This sucker is nearly four feet wide - the detail is amazing. You don't see tall ships in the outfield much anymore.
A choir mate of my wife is a top-notch conservator. She works in the archives of the Land Registry here in Victoria. The work she has done on old maps that demarcated this city two centuries ago just blows the mind of this old land surveyor. I was stoked when she said she would knock my photo into shape - repair the tears, infill the chips and, main thing, remove the linen backing which forces the photo into a tight roll. She's almost done with this painstaking work. After that I'll get a frame on it and then up she goes on the library wall of this old Giant fan. This jpeg came from the Heritage site. It is huge. I hope Net 54's "posting mechanism" will accommodate it.

just FYI
the tintype is clearly a shot taken in a studio with some form of backdrop and not at a ballpark - it would be all about whomever is in the photograph.

Photo
Great photo of the Polo Grounds.
Guess it would have been good to be in the hat business circa the early 20th.
