photographic player imagewith highly stylized player uniforms, part- photographic and part illustration. The artist’s initials appear on the bottom of both pieces, his signature and ownership information (“Property of J.A. Roggenbuck”) written in ink on the reverse. It took a consultation with our good friend, fellow collector and researcher extraordinaire Peter Fishman to identify the source of these illustrations. Peter identified the artwork as appearing in the book Base ball Treasures: Memorabilia from the National Pastime, by Douglas Congdon-Martin and John Kashmanian, and originating in a 1909 advertising calendar for Hyatt Roller Bearings as produced by the Curtis Advertising Company of Detroit. The advertising calendar is rare in itself; these original art pieces are one-of-a-kind, each a beautiful display with minor areas of wear on each, though the heavy board on which they are produced has largely protected them from damage. The Bush example does exhibit a thin tear along the left edge near his knee; the tear does not interfere with the aesthetic appeal of the piece. MINIMUM BID: $500.00
