Lot #216: Circa 1870s Baseball Tintype Photo -
Featuring Henry Chadwick
Lot description:
This 1/4-plate (3-1/2" x 4-1/2" oval) tintype pictures four gentlemen at leisure;
the man at the foreground has been labeled "Henry Chadwick" in pencil across his lapels. The image is housed in an elaborate case as was typical for the period, and the depiction's quality is strong, minimally EX in appearance. Chadwick was a significant figure in baseball's development. Reputedly termed "The Father of Baseball" by none other than President Theodore Roosevelt, Hall of Famer Chadwick is credited with inventing the box score for games, as well as pioneering an emphasis on the recording and analysis of player statistics.
