EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of baseball, specifically the Chicago White Stockings of the National League in 1882. Led by their talented first baseman, Adrian Constantine Cap Anson, this team was a force to be reckoned with on the field. In this wood engraving from an American newspaper, we see Anson standing proudly at the center, exuding confidence and determination. Dressed in his late 19th-century uniform, he represents the epitome of a true athlete. The sepia tones add a nostalgic touch to this snapshot from history. Surrounded by his teammates, it is evident that unity and teamwork were key values for these men. Their matching uniforms symbolize their commitment to their club and their city - Chicago. This image serves as a reminder of how far baseball has come since its inception as America's favorite pastime. The Chicago White Stockings eventually evolved into what we now know as the Chicago Cubs - one of Major League Baseball's most iconic teams. This print captures not only a moment in time but also pays homage to an era when baseball was still finding its footing in North America. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this piece allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind wood engravings and the rich history embedded within every stitch of those old-time uniforms worn by legends like Cap Anson.
