Lot 807
1907 World Series Panoramic Photos. On rare occasions you can peer at a photograph that makes times stand still… It is October 9th, 1907, Chicago's West Side Grounds at Polk and Lincoln (now Wolcott) is packed with 21,901 paying customers. Not only are the balcony boxes and grandstands filled, the rooftops of several buildings outside the park, some with their own bleachers, are also packed with spectators. The Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers are playing the second game of the series. The immortal one, Ty Cobb, is leading off the 4th inning against lefthander Jack Pfiester. This reproduction of the famous George Lawrence Co. photo, measures 5½ x 10".
The second photo, from the game in Detroit on Oct. 12, 1907, captures the vantage of an onlooker in the outfield bleachers. (or perhaps a rooftop, judging from the spectators in the left of the print) This reproduction of the famous George Lawrence Co. black and white photo, measures 4 x 10". Very Good.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
