EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Adrian "Cap". Anson, a legendary baseball player from the 19th century. The portrait showcases Anson's strong and determined gaze, highlighting his status as a true sportsman. With his signature moustache and facial hair impeccably groomed, he exudes an air of confidence and authority. Dressed in his Chicago team uniform, complete with a baseball cap adorned with the letter "C". Anson stands tall holding a baseball bat. This image immortalizes him as one of the greatest players of his time, representing not only himself but also the spirit of American baseball. The intricate details captured through lithography bring this historic moment to life. From every line on Anson's face to each strand of hair on his head, it is evident that this print was crafted with great care by Claus Lindner Eddy for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1887. As we admire this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, we are transported back to an era when sportsmanship reigned supreme. This trade card serves as a testament to Anson's legacy and reminds us of the rich history embedded within America's favorite pastime.
