1872 Warren CDVs of Boston players - what did original composite look like?

[orator1]

The current Heritage auction has five 1872 CDVs from the George Wright Collection, and it appears they were once part of a Boston team composite. Has anyone ever seen a picture of the original composite before it was dismantled?
Was it a unique team composite or do other 1872 Warren CDV Boston team composites exist?

I'd like to see what the original looked like, so if anyone can post one I'd appreciate it.

I sold the piece intact in my November, 2006 auction. I am unable to scan but I can describe it to you: the eleven CdV's were laid out on a mount roughly in the shape of a clock, with Harry Wright placed in the center and the other ten players in a circle. Then a mat with eleven oval apertures was placed on top. The result was a composite of the team.

The reason many of them have clipped corners is that they original photographer had trouble fitting them in the circle. The piece was quite beautiful as a display. I think it was greatly compromised when it was broken up, but that was what the owner chose to do.

Thanks Matt. I didn't remember that there was a thread about it.

There should also be a thread from when it was originally on ebay. I was the underbidder (Barry beat me out) and I am still kicking myself for not going higher but 12K was all the money I had in the world in about 2006.

Rhys- my snipe was at least 25K, so you had a long way to go.
