I have no idea what the OP intended, but my dictionary agrees that photographs are artwork.

I would think someone aware of 1950 Bowman would be aware that 1953 Bowman exists. The intent seems to be fairly clear. I did not and am not saying a photograph cannot be a piece of art or denigrating Ansel Adams, but being pedantic over every little word people use when the context seems to make it clear feels like a waste of time to me.

Another B/W photo issue is the 1933 Butter Cream set.

I don't have a 1933 George C. Miller card to post, but they have beautiful artwork and no lettering on the front. Also, one of things I like about cards without lettering is that they're great for autographs.

There you go! Those fit the definition and have the art deco look of the Diamond Stars cards produced in that same era. Thanks. Are there any others?

The GC Miller set is a good example...I felt that there was a set I was overlooking. Curse me! Here is a full and a cancelled (72%) size example.

Nope. Artwork isn't camera work; it's painting by hand. So the only baseball set example I have seen so far that features full-color artwork on the front with no player names is the 1950 Bowman set.
