Default 1888 NY Giants Albumen Image - Price Reduced

Posted By: Anonymous

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

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.

Stereoview of some soldiers in baseball poses. Back of the image has old pencil inscription "Encampment at Water Gap". $Sold

A neat view of the stereoview can be seen here (thanks Jimmy L.):
