This large display features a spectacular panoramic view of the Chicago National League Grounds circa 1908. The photographic action shot is bordered by the portraits of 26 champion Chicago Cubs including Frank Chance Johnny Kling Mordecai Brown Johnny Evers Joe Tinker Orvie Orvall Ed Reulbach and Harry Steinfeldt. The print features the players dressed in game uniforms on the bottom left side of the panorama and in suits on the bottom right side. Copyrighted in 1908 the panorama transports the viewer to a hundred years ago when the Cubs were a powerhouse winning three consecutive National League pennants (1906-08) and two straight World Series titles (1907-1908). In outstanding condition overall this piece exhibits faint minor creasing mostly at the left and right borders and a five-inch tear on the right side. Some minor restoration has been performed at the bottom edge to relieve some discoloration. The piece has been dry mounted (reversible) to an archival backing for deacidification and preservation. Spectacular vintage display piece has a vibrant EX-MT appearance. The item measures 15" by 44".
