It's not a pamphlet, John. It's a composite piece put together to commemorate the Bulldogs in 1916. Those are original photos attached to the composite. if you look at the Thorpe you will see the raised edge along the left side.
I was kidding around with another collector after I bought this piece that I should cut it up and make a 1916 Canton Bulldogs card set for the registry when it struck me that doing an article that included info on each of the players and cropping out their individual "cards" to show would be really cool. That's how I started working on the article that's in GG now.
