Lot 1678. 1909 Washington Senators' Barr-Farnham Photo Postcard Presentational Album
Personal and vintage, this leather-clad Barr-Farnum photo post card album channels that bygone era of baseball with individual portraits of the 1909 Washington Senators, featuring one of the greatest pitchers ever, Walter Johnson, before The Big Train - as he was called - really got that windmill windup into the record books; he held the all-time total strikeout record for 56 years. Contains 23 beautiful, sepia-toned images, all measuring roughly 4x6”, and all but one are individual portraits, that of Manager Joe Cantillon, trainer J.W. Eddinger, C.E. Smith, T.J. Hughes, Robert Groom, Jerry Freeman, Bill Burns, W.D. Gray, G.F. McBride, C.E. Street, R.A. Unglaub, Jim Delahanty, C.D. Blankenship, M.J. Kahoe, J.C. Milan, Wm. E. Conroy, R.S. Ganley, D.E. Keeley, Jess Tannehill, W.M. Shipke, and O.E. Clymer, and on first page, the team shot entitled “Washington Base Ball Club, 1909". This is one of four separate lots available from the family of team captain (1908-09) and right fielder Robert S. (Bob) Ganley, and note that Ganley’s portrait is a reproduction of the original, which the family chose to keep. Includes LOA from family.
