Baseball Card Photographs CD, 1887 - 1914
Over 3,000+ baseball card photographs from 1887 - 1914 on CD-Rom! This
collection represents more than one thousand major and minor league ballplayers
(primarily major league), from teams in thirteen identified leagues and
seventy-five cities in the United States and Canada dating from 1887 to 1914.
The image files on this CD are categorized accordingly so you can easily find what
you're looking for!
These vintage baseball card images are the finest photographic collection
available on baseball history in the United States. All pictures are fully
printable from the CD. We have test printed greeting cards, post cards, baseball
card and even letter size (8 x 11 inches) prints from the images. We do not
recommend print sizes bigger than 8 x 11, since the images were scanned from
baseball card sized originals.
Above pictures are just a very small sample images taken from the
collection in this cd. Images on the cd are larger and of higher resolution than
that show here. There are also
pictures of the backs of the cards, team photographs, and numerous other
baseball related memorabilia items!
This collection is often referred to as the "Benjamin K. Edwards" collection,
the original collector of the majority of these baseball cards.
Originally distributed in cigarette packs, these cards were the forerunners of
modern sports trading cards. They portray such legendary figures of the game as
Ty Cobb stealing third base for Detroit, Tris Speaker batting for Boston, and
pitcher Cy Young posing in his Cleveland uniform. Other notable players include
Connie Mack, Walter Johnson, King Kelly, and Christy Mathewson. Although many of
the greatest players from the first decades of professional baseball are
represented, the collection does not include individual cards for either Honus
Wagner or Babe Ruth.
Baseball cards were first issued during the 1880s when tobacco companies used
them to promote sales. Although they also served to stiffen soft cigarette
packages, advertising was their primary function, for as early as 1887 cards and
cigarettes were packed in more rigid "slide and shell" boxes which had no need
for reinforcement. Although the cards vary in design and format, most are 2 5/8
x 1 1/2 inches, much smaller than today's trading cards. Two exceptions are the
large format sets of Turkey Red Cabinets and Old Judge Cabinets, produced as
premiums in exchange for coupons distributed in cigarette packs. Issued either
as black-and-white photographs or color prints, the cards portray ballplayers
both in action scenes and formal poses.
More than one thousand major and minor league ballplayers, from teams in
thirteen identified leagues and seventy-five cities in the United States and
Canada, are represented in the collection. They include celebrated stars playing
for storied major league clubs in Boston, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Detroit, New
York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, along with more obscure minor leaguers
performing in Birmingham, Little Rock, Memphis, Norfolk, Oakland, Providence,
Richmond, Shreveport, Toledo, and elsewhere. Canadian cities represented include
Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Victoria.
Major leaguers account for more than three-quarters of the images in the
collection. Great pitchers from the period include Cy Young, Walter Johnson,
Christy Mathewson, Smoky Joe Wood, Chief Bender, Joe McGinnity, Eddie Plank,
Rube Marquard, and Rube Waddell, among others. Hall of Fame field players
include King Kelly, Cap Anson, Home Run Baker, Dan Brouthers, Ed Delahanty,
Eddie Collins, Buck Ewing, Wee Willie Keeler, Napoleon Lajoie, and Zack Wheat.
Researchers may also find notable player partnerships, such as the immortal Cubs
infield trio of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance or the talented Red
Sox outfield comprised of Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis, and Harry Hooper. Connie
Mack, John McGraw, and Charles Comiskey are among the game's outstanding early
managers depicted.
Apart from the wealth of baseball lore and history the Edwards Collection
represents, it also provides a rich resource for the study of commercial
advertising and printing processes from the period. The earliest cards were
issued either as straightforward black-and-white photographs or color
lithographs mounted on stiff cards. Reproductive printing techniques advanced
rapidly in the 1890s, however, and most cards produced after the turn of the
century were created by combining relief-printed color with a black-and-white
halftone image.
Cigarette card collector Benjamin K. Edwards preserved these baseball cards in
albums with more than 12,000 other cards on many subjects, including actors and
actresses, United States presidents, bathing beauties, military subjects,
automobiles and airplanes, flags and flowers, and the comic pranks of young
boys. Edwards appreciated the colorful cards for their popular appeal,
advertising ingenuity, and historical value: "To the true collector the
difficulty of finding old American cards is most inviting, and along with the
sport thereof is the interest of research work and the insight as to the living
and thinking of our people a half century ago." After his death, Edwards"
daughter Elizabeth Erickson gave the albums to noted poet and Lincoln biographer
Carl Sandburg, who donated them to the Library's Prints and Photographs Division
in 1954."
