very early baseball scene- Reward of Merit
Posted By: leon
I could be mistaking but I believe this is a very early baseball scene. It says "Master Edward Elliot" on it in ornate handwriting....If it dates to that era it is indeed very early...Guesses on the date?..regards |

Rewards of Merit were very popular in the first half of the 19th century, as teachers would give them to students, kind of like we would have gotten a gold star. There are hundreds of different ones known, several which depict bat and ball games. There is a more common one that is in color and has baseball as its central motif. This one has a smaller illustration of the game, but is scarcer. They usually sell around $150-200, I didn't see what this one went for. |
