EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of baseball in early 20th century America. The print showcases Charles Judson Hemphill, a prominent player for the New York Highlanders in the American League during 1909-1911. Hemphill, also known as Charlie, is depicted with his arm raised and an eagle eye focus as he prepares to catch a baseball with his trusty glove. The image is part of the White Border series (T206) produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. This iconic cigarette card features Hemphill dressed in traditional sportswear of that era, highlighting both his athletic prowess and fashionable attire. The lithograph beautifully captures Hemphill's intense gaze as he looks up, seemingly gesturing towards victory on the field. The bold capital lettering adds a touch of vintage charm to this portrait of a true sportsman. Displayed at The Met museum, this print serves as a testament to America's rich sporting heritage. It transports viewers back to a time when baseball was not only a beloved pastime but also an integral part of American culture. With its impeccable detail and timeless appeal, this lithograph from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind printing techniques used at that time and the enduring legacy of athletes like Charlie Hemphill who left their mark on our country's sporting history.
