EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Johnny Bates, a prominent baseball player for the Boston Beaneaters in the early 20th century. Taken from the iconic White Border series (T206) by the American Tobacco Company between 1909-1911, this print showcases Bates' intense concentration as he prepares to swing his baseball bat. Bates stands tall in his classic baseball attire, wearing a cap adorned with the letter "B" representing his team. His focused gaze reveals a determination that made him one of America's most revered sportsmen during this era. The lithotint technique used to create this image adds depth and texture, making it an exquisite piece of heritage art. Set against a plain background, this portrait highlights Bates as an individual while also symbolizing America's love affair with its national pastime. As one person among many who contributed to shaping American sports history, Bates represents both the spirit of competition and unity within our country. This trade card serves as more than just advertising for cigarettes; it is a testament to American culture and identity at that time. It reminds us of our shared passion for sportsmanship and camaraderie on fields across the United States. Whether you are a fan of baseball or simply appreciate historical artifacts, this print offers a glimpse into an important chapter in American sporting history.
