Lot Number: 47
Description: 1918 Cleveland Indians panoramic photograph with Tris Speaker and Ray Chapman. Choice large format photograph showing uniformed team members standing shoulder to shoulder inside League Park. Notables include Hall of Famers Tris Speaker and Stan Coveleski along with Smokey Joe Wood, Bill Wambsganss, and Ray Chapman who would tragically pass two years later. Each is identified below their likeness and of note are Germany Schaefer (Coach) and Fritz Coumbe (pitcher) who took advantage of the long exposure time needed to produce an image of this size. They can be seen on the left side with hands held at their waists and again on the right waving to the camera (having run from one side to the other). Titling appears across the top and there is a "Photo by John E. Ertler...Cleveland" mark at lower right. Tastefully framed to 13"x37" for display with mild wear including a few wrinkles, some modest toning/discoloration, and some minor paper loss within the lower white border. These flaws largely remain within the borders with the central image portion unaffected: GD/VGEstimated Price Range: ($2,000-$3,000)
