A little more music. Sorry, Leon, but I couldn't resist:
|
Love the image.
|
The only thing missing is the ladies.
|
Great pic Leon. I can see why you couldn't resist.
But I'm not quite sure why there isn't a dog in there somewhere. |
An integrated photo from that era is really something.

Nice Leon,
Really does have a lot going on. I collect early banjo/guitar images, but haven't seen one with baseball as well. Rob |

Won't you join me at the Una club's Calico party? Carriages will call at 7 o'clock.

Wow! That's a fantastic glimpse into American history. Very cool, Leon.
Just a guess, but I'd imagine the bicycles would be a great key in pinpointing a date range (among other clues, like the bats being held, the guitar, etc.). |

I was checking that out, too, Jon. I don't know the exact name off hand, but I think it's a percussive instrument, and they're played like spoons -- you slap 'em over your knees and they make a "clickety-clack" sound.

The Movie "Matawan"
Leon's cabinet reminds me of the Union movie by John Sayles. There's a ball game amongst the striking miners that looks a lot like the photo.

Here's a photo that's always perplexed me. The back is marked Pressburg, Hungary July 4th, 1907. Heck of a celebration but why are they celebrating the 4th of July in Hungary. The reason I bought it was there is a guy in the front row with a baseball glove on.
