Kreindler's Mathewson

Clearly I'm no photographer. I've done the best I can with the iPhone, for those of you who wanted to see it up on the wall.

On the adjacent wall is Sandham's 1897 version of "A Baseball Game", often referred to as (wrongly or not) "The Temple Cup Print".

In the foreground is an invitation to opening day of the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds, 1905.

The painting deseves better than this shot

If anyone cares to see it in person and you live in the NY metro area, let me know.

Thanks again, Graig!

It looks spectacular Jacksons! Well done. Best, Jimmy BTW... I looking at my Kreindler Ruth (from my Paul Thompson photo) and Kreindler Gehrig (from my Conlon photo) as I type this, so I truly understand how you feel.

Jacksons...

Looks marvelous. I like the way the reddish wall sets off Matty's facial tones. Just beautiful... Do you have any plans to find a frame for it, or are you leaving it as-is?

Holy canoli, Gerry!! I'm next to a Sandham?! That's friggin' awesome.

By the way, where in the New York area are you located?

Matt, tremendous photo. Is that tobacco juice on Matty's top or on the photo? Amazing clarity.

perezfan - I don't plan on framing it - recommended to leave as is and I agree. Framing these just doesn't feel right - takes the eye away from what it should see - the painting in total, without distractions.

Ladder - I believe Matt's Matty photo is available in Legendary's auction, closing tomorrow night.

It's not mine - it's currently in the Legendary auction and it's going for some INSANE money.

I remember seeing this bad boy on display in Cleveland. What a shot!!

The scan doesn't even do the thing justice, as it's beyond crystal clear. Now, I'm not one for figuring out proper photo Type labels (any help Jimmy?), but I'm 99% sure that the image of Matty is from 1912, a year after the Conlon image that I used for the painting.

Either way, it's a smokin' piece, and would make a GREAT painting!
