Lot 235: c. 1875 Baseball on a String Cabinet Photograph
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|||||||||||
Amazing photograph circa 1875 cabinet card, to our knowledge the earliest known to use of the "ball on string" technique. This created the illusion that the subject, here a
player from St. Albans, Vermont, was about to catch a baseball that
is visible in the frame. Photo measures 4.5 x 6.5 and is NM-MT
condition.
