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 (link). I have a modern oil painting of that one (show in my previous post). This particular piece is his second one and is titled "A Stolen Base?" and was inspired by a Frank Small original painting. It measures 22"x28". Actually here's a nice writeup on another one (link).

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.

I'm pretty sure I haven't posted in this thread....I think I only put up a few pics in another thread, when I joined a couple of weeks ago. Forgive me if some of these pics are redundant and show the same thing. One good thing about this room is that it's in a windowless, basement room....no light, very little dust.

Rob,

You've answered the classic question, "What happens when you cross a diehard Giants fan with a space efficiency expert?"

Nicely done -- I've never seen the vertical-hangars approach applied to pennants. You get a lot more in the same space.

Thanks for sharing,

Mike

I mentioned some time back that I was doing a bit of a room-remodel. And then I never followed up with photos. So, here is my ridiculous room filled with baseball/hockey/wrestling/boxing/entertainment memorabilia. Pics aren't great, sorry...my collection of soda advertising lighted clocks plays havoc with the iphone camera.

Great collection John! Thanks for sharing pictures of your collection.

That is one awesome room. Who's your favorit team?

My family room is all baseball. Even though my office is all Red Sox I have some Yankee stuff in this room.

One of the nicest displays I have seen. Good Job.
