1867 BASEBALL POLKA
A final printing process mutli-color proof for the sheet music portfolio which held the sheet music to The Baseball Polka, a rare, nineteenth century baseball display piece. This stone color litho depicts baseball in its infancy stage, as the game was evolving from its English ancestor, Rounders; it pictures a full field game in progress with players in Civil War era baseball uniforms. The most important piece of baseball sheet music ever to be offered at public auction.
