Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>Kind of an interesting side note - I've also got a very large albumen of this same image (not for sale). Actually, the image is slightly different. Most notable is that Kemmler has his arms down, but it was obviously done in the same sitting (I have also seen a third variation of this same sitting some time ago). The albumen is in its original frame. The back of the framed picture has slats from a crate. You can make out the word "Pittsburg" on these slats. Most likely this had something to do with the Columbus team combining with Pittsburg in 1885.<br /><br />Rob M.<br /><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/columbus%20baseball%201.jpg"><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/columbus%20baseball%202.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>Rob, great item(s)!, I would be all over it myself if there were a direct connection to my collection.<br /><br />Just in case you haven't already done so, a little word of caution on the framed piece. You might want to consider, if you haven't already, placing something safe between the cabinet and the wood backing. The thin wood slats (usually ~1/8" thick) can be damaging. Wood is very acidic and high in lignin, which causes acid burn and staining. Because it requires light to facilitate the process, the areas around openings and/or knotholes will be darker. Also the raw edges allow the release of the lignin. Consequently you get an actual pattern that follows the grain of the wood, including knotholes and seam lines on the back side of the cabinet that can stain all the way through the mount into the picture.<br /><br />And <b>Trevor</b>, what is the best way to get ahold of you these days?, send me an email if you could.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski<br />twinturbo@comcast.net
