Great Cummings CDV!

Based on the size, that 1877 Boston must be a cabinet card, not sure if a similar version was produced as a CDV or not.....

And I can add a new card too - very excited to present my latest 19th century pick up. Hey who got that Hanlon cabinet in REA. A beauty.

Jim- Great card! It was part of a find I had a few years ago. I still have some regrets for selling it.

THanks Gary. I really love the card. Can you say more about the find. Were there other Hess California league cards? I think I vaguely remember a thread about the find.

Jim- The original thread was on 10/18/09. There was also a Charlie Sweeney N338-1 and a Hess Newsboy in the find of only 20 cards. The other 17 cards were common OJs.

Yes, it's a cabinet card.

19th Century Lithography at its best.....this is the favorite in my collection









Even more spectacular artwork is found in some of the 10 non-baseball pages in this Goodwin album.

Great photo Gary. Ideas on date and players? They almost look like cricketers.

Leon-The baseball CdV was in the album pictured on this post. The album contained many Civil War era images as well. The baseball CdV is dated 1867 at the top. The players names are listed at the bottom and the picture was taken in Sante Fe, New Mexico. This is the earliest baseball CdV I have ever seen from west of the Mississippi. I have been in contact with the the New Mexico Historical Society, as well as other New Mexico organizations, regarding the image. Researching it is still a work in progress, but I believe the image will end up in some New Mexico historical publication eventually. The fact that there was a baseball team in the New Mexico Territory in 1867 amazes me. I also have a baseball CdV taken in the Dakota Territory, but it is from about 1880.
