EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Morrell, the esteemed 1st Baseman from Boston, who was part of the legendary Worlds Champions team. Taken in 1888 by Allen & Ginter for their iconic cigarette card series (N43), this image captures the essence of America's favorite pastime during the late 19th century. In this lithograph, Morrell exudes confidence and determination as he stands tall with his baseball bat in hand. Dressed in traditional baseball attire, complete with a cap bearing a capital letter "B" representing Boston, he represents both his team and his country on an international stage. Morrell's facial hair adds to his rugged charm and gives him an air of authority on the field. The attention to detail in this colorized portrait highlights every aspect of his appearance - from his meticulously styled moustache to the intricate stitching on his uniform belt. The lithography technique used to create this print brings out vibrant colors that beautifully contrast against a white background. This trade card is not just a piece of memorabilia; it is also a testament to American sporting heritage. Preserved at The Met museum, this artwork by Claus Lindner Eddy captures both the spirit and skill that made John Morrell one of baseball's most revered personalities. It serves as a reminder of how sports can transcend time and connect generations through shared passion for competition and camaraderie.
