EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Sutton, 3rd Base, Boston" is part of the iconic Gold Coin series (N284) for Gold Coin Chewing Tobacco. Created in 1887 by D Buchner & Co. , this exquisite piece showcases Ezra Sutton, a legendary baseball player from the 19th century. In this portrait, Sutton stands confidently on third base at a game in Boston, Massachusetts. Clad in his classic baseball uniform and cap adorned with the team's logo, he exudes both strength and determination. Bending forward slightly as if anticipating an imminent play, Sutton epitomizes the essence of a skilled baseman. The lithograph's colorization adds depth to the image while maintaining its vintage charm. The vibrant red accents highlight Sutton's sportswear and draw attention to his intense gaze. This striking contrast against a white background further emphasizes his presence on the field. As we admire this remarkable artwork today at The Met museum, it serves as a testament to America's rich sporting heritage. Beyond being just another cigarette card or trade card advertisement for chewing tobacco products of that era – let us appreciate it solely as an artistic representation capturing an important moment in American history. With every detail meticulously crafted through lithography printing techniques, this print immortalizes Ezra Sutton's contribution to baseball while honoring our nation's love affair with sportsmanship and competition during that golden era of America’s favorite pastime.
