Source of these '1894' team composites?

Hi, I picked these up earlier in the year under the assumption that they were supplements. After removing them from the frame, it's obvious that they're thin and semi-glossy finish. The dimensions are 5 3/4" x 9." Are these simply cut outs from a 19th or early 20th century publication and does anyone know the dimensions of the actual supplements? Thanks. George

The printing is period. They are not modern reproductions.

yeah- they're for sure pulled out of some sorta booklet. I saw them for sale too. I've never seen an actual supplement/premium made of these images. The only one that comes to mind is the, 1892 NY Recorder supplement 9" x 10" or so.

Thanks guys! Yes, I'm in agreement that it's period BUT that it came out of some sort of publication. In fact, you can see the staple holes which would confirm that it is not stand-alone. This is one of the risks with buying things already framed...regardless it displays well so that's a good thing

Albert, I'm familiar with NY Recorder supplements and there are a few more but not many.

I do believe that the 1894 supplement does in fact exist and someone was selling it at some point last year. I'm including the picture although not sure of the dimensions and paper thickness...I think that one is a legitimate supplement but would need someone else on the board to chime in with the dimensions, paper thickness etc.

That looks exactly like your page. It looks like the staples were trimmed off. The dimensions look "book" like.

There was a large composite of the Orioles in an 1894 publication (Leslie's Illustrated?), but it's easy to identify because it has text on the back. It was a full page part of the publication, not a supplement.
