This print from the White Border series (T206) by the American Tobacco Company showcases Tully Frederick "Topsy". Hartsel, a prominent baseball player for the Philadelphia Athletics in the early 20th century. The image captures Hartsel in a striking profile, donning his classic baseball cap and sportsman attire. Set against a vibrant green background, this lithograph exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us back to America's beloved pastime during its formative years.
