van oeyen photo
This print is part of a larger group that once hung in a bar or bar/resturant in Cleveland over 100 years ago. Maybe this was an early sports bar, kind of like Nuff Sed's place in Boston. About 60 of them were offered by an Ohio dealer, Jim Kovacs, sometime around 1980. They were all in the original frames, all were by Van Oeyen, and all of them had those paper captions glued to the front with an ink ID. Last time any of them were offered in bulk was when Lew Lipset somehow came up with about 20 of the original lot about 15 years ago. When hey were first offered, it was an opportunity to buy photos of completely obscure dead ballers.
