EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases John M. Ward, a renowned baseball player from the late 19th century. The image is part of the Worlds Champions series (N28) produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1887. Ward's confident stance and intense gaze reflect his dedication to the sport that made him a champion. Dressed in traditional baseball attire, Ward dons a cap adorned with the iconic letter "A" representing his affiliation with Allen & Ginter. His white uniform contrasts against the dark background, emphasizing his athletic prowess and highlighting every intricate detail captured by lithography. The artist, Claus Lindner Eddy, skillfully employs color and shading techniques to bring this portrait to life. With Western script text accompanying the image, it adds an element of authenticity to this historical piece. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this trade card holds immense cultural significance as it represents not only John M. Ward but also captures a pivotal moment in American sports history. It serves as a testament to both Ward's individual achievements and the collective spirit of competition during that era. As we admire this lithotint masterpiece today, we are transported back in time to witness one man's dedication and passion for America's favorite pastime – baseball.
