Interesting thoughts. It was sold to me as being original art which would dovetail nicely with the information on the back including the word "Sketch". How can I readily distinguish original art from a print?
Reach did use Bender on the front of its 1913 catalog as shown below (That was based on a Van Oeyen Bender photo I have seen in Mathewson's "Pitching in a Pinch" book of 1912). Was this an original art submission for that catalog that was ultimately not selected?
The permission slips are interesting. Has anyone seen any Atlantic Lithographic issues?
My guess is that this is a one of kind item.
