EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of American baseball in the early 20th century. Titled "Knight, New York, American League" it is part of the iconic White Border series (T206) produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The image showcases a skilled player from the New York Highlanders, John Wesley Knight, as he confidently takes his stance at bat. Dressed in traditional baseball attire - complete with a cap and jersey adorned with capital lettering - Knight exudes determination and sportsmanship. His intense gaze reveals his focus on hitting that perfect pitch. The lithograph's color adds vibrancy to this snapshot of America's favorite pastime. The photograph not only immortalizes Knight but also serves as a testament to the rich heritage of baseball in our country. It symbolizes an era when cigarette cards were treasured collectibles among fans and enthusiasts alike. Now housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece represents more than just a simple trading card; it embodies an important chapter in both sporting history and popular culture. As we admire this remarkable portrait, let us celebrate John Wesley Knight's contribution to America's love affair with baseball while appreciating how art can capture moments that transcend time itself.
