Lot 340: New York Giants Panoramic Photograph

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $300.00
Winning Bid: $392.62
Price Realized: $469.18
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Simply outstanding panoramic photo of Muggsy McGraw's Giants posed as a group in a packed Polo Grounds, circa 1910s. Very rare shot of Muggsy's boys, who all carry his smug swagger in the picture. Also notable: the interlocking "NY" on their uniform sleeves, as opposed to the Yankees wearing it on their chests. Faces include Matty, McGraw and Wilbert Robinson. 13 1/2 x 16 1/2" photo is Good-VG with creasing. But all flaws dissolve at a distance and the personality of the image seems to pour through anything in its way.
