Lot 495: Gargantuan Fenway Park 1918 World Series Panorama
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Out of his world image of the deciding game of the 1918 World Series
at a most historic Fenway Park. Spread across the bottom in cursive
white lettering is, "World Series...Fenway Park Sept 11, 1918... Red
Sox 2 Cubs 1." By Pyle Photo Company of Waltham, Massachusetts one of the finer photos in the art of the stadium panorama. The scoreboard
reads 2-1 in this frozen moment in time. The cleanup hitter is at
bat, Les Mann leads off first while Bill Klem surveys the action on
his watch. It would all be for naught as the score would remain the
same and the Red Sox were World Champions once again. The next time
would be an eternity. Crystal clear image is overall excellent. The
photo itself is 46x8" and is brilliantly framed to 53x14.5".
