T206 Matty portrait -- question

Posted By: davidcycleback

The Mathewson T206 pitching pose is based on a photo, as I've seen the photo. Even for the T206s made from an artist's sketch, the artist likely had a photo to work from. The guy who painted 1953 Topps cards (Gerry Dvorak) said that Topps give him photos of players and said "Paint these."

For the 1800 Harper's Woodcuts, the print was based on either a photo or an artist's sketch. In the woodcut's caption, it usually says whether it was from a photo or sketch.
