EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures Charles Raymond Demmitt, a prominent baseball player from the early 20th century. The photograph is part of the iconic White Border series (T206) produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. In this portrait, Demmitt stands confidently with his hand on his hip, wearing a classic St. Louis American League baseball cap. His intense gaze and strong posture reflect his dedication to the sport he loved. The image showcases not only Demmitt's athletic prowess but also represents an important era in American sports history. Baseball was gaining immense popularity across the country during this time, becoming known as America's pastime. Printed on a cigarette card, this lithographic masterpiece served as both entertainment for tobacco consumers and a collectible item for fans of the game. The detailed craftsmanship of the lithotint technique brings out every intricate detail of Demmitt's features and attire. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of our nation's rich sporting heritage and pays homage to those who paved the way for modern-day athletes. This print transports us back to St. Louis in Missouri, where Demmitt made significant contributions to America's beloved game. Let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in capturing an extraordinary individual who left an indelible mark on American sports culture.
