This rare 1914 Detroit Tigers team panoramic photograph features the legendary Ty Cobb not once but twice. Cobb was in his prime and therefore able to outrace the photographer as he panned from one end of the player lineup to the other. In the old days when this photo was taken it was necessary for the players to stand still for several seconds as the exposure was completed. This allowed for Cobb to be captured at one end of the picture when the camera shutter opened and sprint behind the camera to the other end before the camera caught up with him. Thus he appears in the photo twice. The Tigers players names appear below their images which includes greats such as Heilman Bush Vitt Gibson Burns Coveleski Veach Crawford and Jennings. The contrast and clarity of the photo is near perfect. It is in its original frame and appears EX with some mild toning and soiling at spots. The photo measures 36 inches across and 8 inches high. The frame shows some wear from age and has holes at either end from hanging. This is the only example of this significant early team photograph we have seen.
