This vibrant print captures Norman Arthur Elberfeld, also known as "Elberfeld Kid" a renowned baseball player who played for the New York Highlanders from 1903 to 1909. The image is part of the White Border series (T206) produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. In this portrait, Elberfeld stands confidently against a striking red background, dressed in his iconic baseball uniform. His white shirt contrasts sharply with the bold color behind him, emphasizing his presence as a sportsman. The lithograph technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual appeal. Elberfeld's intense gaze suggests determination and passion for the game he loved. As one of America's most popular pastimes during that era, baseball held immense cultural significance and brought people together across the country. This photograph not only showcases Elberfeld's athletic prowess but also serves as a testament to America's rich sporting heritage. It symbolizes an era when men like Elberfeld were celebrated for their skills on the field and became icons in their own right. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century America through its depiction of an esteemed athlete in full sportswear attire. Its vivid colors and meticulous printing make it both visually captivating and historically significant - a true treasure from our nation's sporting history.
