Default 1908 New York Giants Cabinet Card Joseph Hall

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has seen this 1908 cabinet card before. I believe it is from Joseph Hall studios. Looks like Hall signed it at the bottom. It measures 22 X 34 and is quite large for it's kind. If anyone has information to share I would appreciate it.

I think you'd call this a composite photo more than a cabinet card. You're right it is large. Interesting piece. I'm assuming the individual ovals are not pasted on separately but this is probably a composite image where all of the ovals are placed on a background and then another picture is taken of that composition. That's a little different than a cabinet which is a photo pasted onto a cardboard mount.

If the actual ovals are pasted onto the cardboard, perhaps it's the proof or constructed piece for which postcards or other size photos were taken to reproduce.

Neat piece.

The Giants 1908 banner at the bottom seems crammed in there and off-center a bit and to me seems added after the fact? Also, no borders, etc. so hard to judge the full size of the original piece.

Default 1908 Giants

Thanks Jason. You are right. It is a composite. Here is a close up of the 1908 Giants. It looks like hall signed it as well.

Copyright 1908

Interesting. Does it say Copyright 1905? Maybe he had the 1905 team and then moved some portraits around and labeled it 1908?

To me, again, this seems like a larger piece that would then be reproduced for postcards or other posters at the ballpark, programs maybe? Maybe you can look in 1908 programs to see this array? I don't ever remember seeing a postcard with this layout.

And it's certainly different than the Horner Composite from around 1903.

I believe that the ovals match the images pictured on the known individual 1908 Hall's Studio New York player cabinets.

Are you sure Joseph Hall and Hall are the same company? I've never seen a Joseph Hall later than the early 1890's.

Edited to add I can't read the signature...what does it say?
