EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of early 20th-century baseball with its portrayal of Herman A. Schaefer, a prominent player for the Washington Senators in the American League. Taken from the iconic White Border series (T206) by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911, this vintage cigarette card showcases Schaefer in his full sportsman glory. In this portrait, Schaefer stands tall wearing his classic baseball cap adorned with a large letter "W" proudly representing his team and city. His intense gaze reveals both determination and passion for the game as he prepares to throw a ball with precision. The lithotint technique used to create this print adds depth and richness to every detail, making it an exquisite piece of art that truly captures America's love affair with baseball. Schaefer's German heritage is subtly hinted at through his last name, while also highlighting how immigrants played an integral role in shaping America's favorite pastime. Set against a clean white background, this image symbolizes purity, integrity, and respect associated with both sportsmanship and tobacco advertising during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only Schaefer's skill on the field but also recognize how such artifacts provide us glimpses into our country's rich sporting history. This photograph serves as a reminder of how sports transcend boundaries - be it national or cultural - uniting people across generations through their shared love for competition and camaraderie.
