1888 NY Giants Albumen Image - Price Reduced
Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Most likely a one-of-a-kind image of Manager Mutrie and some of his 1888 NY Giants players. This is an 8x10 albumen (image portion is 6x8½). $950 <br><br>Note - Just in case there is any confusion, CDV's and cabinet cards are also albumen images. They (CDV's and cabinet cards) obtained their names because of their mass-produced, standard sizes. This image is being called by its basic albumen name because it is larger than a cabinet card and the mount is not typical of an imperial cabinet card (an over-sized cabinet card), although one might call it that. It is, however, very much a period image. This type of image was not what one would expect of a mass-produced image and was probably made available only to one, or a few, of the players in the image.<br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1232126369.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br>Stereoview of some soldiers in baseball poses.
