EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of William Ewing, a legendary baseball player and catcher for New York in the late 19th century. The photograph is part of the "Worlds Champions" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, showcasing renowned sportsmen of that era. In this portrait, Ewing exudes confidence as he dons his classic baseball cap adorned with the letter "N" for New York. His facial hair adds to his rugged charm, while his intense gaze reveals both determination and skill. The lithotint technique used in printing brings out every intricate detail, from the texture of his cap to the lines etched on his face. Ewing's contribution to American baseball cannot be overstated. As a prominent figure in Central America's sportswear history, he managed to lead his team to numerous victories during an era when baseball was rapidly gaining popularity across the United States. This trade card serves as a testament to Ewing's impact on the game and showcases him as one of its true champions. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece represents not only a significant moment in sporting history but also highlights Allen & Ginter's dedication to capturing iconic figures through their cigarette cards. With its timeless appeal and Western script text providing context, this print stands as a tribute to William Ewing's enduring legacy within American sports culture.
