ANONYMOUS [BASEBALL.] Group of 4 posters. 1905. Each approximately 251/2x183/4 inches. Strobridge, Cincinnati. Condition varies, generally B+. Paper. After a major fire in 1902 in the League Park grandstands, the Cincinnati Reds rebuilt their stadium. The resulting masterpiece was the first ballpark with distinct architectural features that included ornate pillars, carved collums, private boxes and a "Rooter's Row," something akin to modern day bleechers. Known today as "The Palace of the Fans," the Reds played there until 1911. One year later Crosley field was constructed on the same site. These exquisite images from Cincinnati's own Strobridge Lithography company are bascially one home team saluting the other! Depicting the stadium and various players around the field, these posters, which appear to be stock images, clearly illustrate the uniforms of the Cincinnati Redstockings.
