Corey, that is incredible! I love the exhibition history as well. It is interesting that an MFA curator was an owner of it for some time. It certainly would not look out of place there.
Mark, that card made of cards must have taken an incredible amount of time and effort. I have only seen yours (and others like it) online, but the craftsmanship is evident even in pictures.
Bruce, nice watercolor! It would be interesting if the two Tyngs were connected and the painting was in homage to his ancestor.
Gary, amazing! How early is that estimated to be? I know some woodcuts showing similar scenes can date back to the 1830s/1840s.
Steve, thank you for that link but I think mine were created earlier but I definitely could be wrong. No matter what it was fun to read about that game and one of the card's possible connection to Gehrig.
Ben, agreed that it is great it is in your collection!
