Cool image David...I spent a few minutes scanning the crowd to see if I could find a single fellow without a hat, with no luck. I guess in 1905 one might have been shamed out of the ballpark if they arrived bareheaded.

I keep coming back to look at that Polo Grounds image, definitely a wow-factor piece.

Lots of really great Bressy stuff in this thread. Kudos to our members with some great stuff....... but that panorama, with all of that detail and everything going on, is spectacular.

Glad you folks appreciate the photo. Might be several more weeks before Jean T, our conservator friend, finishes her work and the framer theirs. Am anxious to see the finished product. I should mention that Jean said there was a certain risk involved in the process of removing the linen backing and I could end up with shredded wheat but so far so good. Will post some pikkies when it is up on the wall.

Good luck David!

That piece really lets you know what it felt like to actually be at that game.

David.
Agreed. Beautiful piece. Would love to see the final outcome.
