Antique (1890s) Framed Photograph Early American College // High School Football Team.
Likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. Players are posed outdoors in front of a building, wearing characteristic early football uniforms, padded trousers, and sweaters or jerseys of the era. Photograph is mounted within a grey mat board and encased in a classic, distressed wooden frame with beaded inner molding. Lace-up canvas vests or jackets worn by a few players were designed to prevent opponents from grabbing their jerseys.
Good Antique Condition. 2-3 of the players appear slightly blurry in the photograph. Distress + discoloration to wood frame - structurally sound. Paper backing that shows distress. Ready To Hang. Padded Canvas Uniforms. Several players wear the iconic quilted or padded canvas pants and heavy ribbed sweaters of the era. Player on the far left holds a classic, melon-shaped watermelon football common during the turn of the century.
