1912 Red Sox paper team photo

[Leon]

It's a very popular image that was made into large postcards and premium cards, such as this one...

Thanks, Leon! I like the hint of coloring on that card - very nice. I have seen this same image a few times, maybe once in a guide and once on a reprint post card, among others. There is another 1912 Sox team picture taken from an angle which also seems to pop up in different forms from time to time as well.

Hi-
I had a 1912 Giants and Red Sox team premium with advertising from a drug store (if I recall correctly) that used a similar photo to the one you are posting. Mine was pretty large, and also in very poor condition. I had never seen another (I found mine at Brimfield) and the dealer I sold it to has had no luck gathering any additional information. Very nice piece!

Thanks, Alan! Was the advertising on the back of the piece? My picture is also fairly large but I have never taken it out of the frame to look at the back.

I should mention too, that I have seen several postcards with this image and all were black and white. Funny thing, I don't think I remember seeing the Burk and Atwell logo on the lower right of the picture in my scan until today. Learn something new every day.....

Tinted, but severely faded.



Thanks TP

Kind of looks to me like it could be an M113 Baseball Magazine Supplement.
