Thanks Carlton. That particular piece is a lithograph by the famous print maker Louis Prang. He developed 2 baseball themed ones with the other being an aquarelle print (

I enjoy collecting things that I can display so this one is a great fit....my segway into lithographs was the Harper's woodcuts and then I went from there.
