EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the White Border series (T206) showcases John Peter Kleinow, a prominent baseball player who represented the New York Highlanders from 1904 to 1910. The image, produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911 as part of their iconic cigarette card collection, captures Kleinow in action during a game in Kleinow, New York. In this colorful lithograph, Kleinow is seen confidently holding a baseball bat while wearing his signature red cap and sportswear. His intense focus and determination are evident as he prepares for an impactful swing. The vibrant colors and attention to detail highlight the significance of this piece as both a historical artifact and a work of art. Preserved at the Metropolitan Museum, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to America's love affair with baseball during the early 20th century. It not only celebrates one individual's contribution to the sport but also represents an era when baseball was rapidly gaining popularity across the nation. The lithotint printing technique used in creating this stunning portrait adds depth and texture to every stroke, making it truly remarkable. As we admire this striking image of John Peter Kleinow, we are transported back in time to witness his skill and passion on display. This print stands as a tribute to both his legacy as an athlete and America's enduring fascination with its national pastime.
