Default Baseball poster 1895 Calvert Litho Detroit

Looking for some more information on a baseball poster from 1895 Calvert Litho from Detroit. I found one similar in content but different color uniforms and the size is different. Anyone know more about this poster? The poster measures 33" x 40"

I think these posters were able to be customized by the customer. This one was marketed as "Base Ball Poster No. 281".

Information from the Library of Congress.

Wow that is beautiful! Have you looked at it under magnification to confirm it's a chromolithograph and how thick is the paper stock?

The poster was auctioned in London so I was not able to examine it. It sold for about 120$ USD

So I recently picked up a similar 'lithograph' but smaller dimensions at ~18" x 21". This was listed with the date of 1895 and under magnification, it doesn't have a dot pattern. However it also doesn't have the white border (technically could have been trimmed before framing) and it's a thicker paper stock.

Now what concerns me is that the back is white with no toning at all. I've handled multiple lithographs and own a bunch of originals and they all have some level of discoloration on the back.

EDITED: 100% modern lithograph ie reproduction.
