EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1885, we witness a thrilling moment in baseball history. The New York Giants catcher, William Buck Ewing, fearlessly slides home under the watchful eye of Chicago White Stockings catcher Silver Flint. It is a game-deciding play that secures victory for the Giants in a nail-biting 1-0 match at the iconic Polo Grounds in New York City. The image perfectly captures the intensity and skill required to excel in America's beloved pastime. Ewing's determination and speed are evident as he dashes towards home plate, while Flint desperately tries to tag him out. The composition showcases the raw athleticism of these early baseball players, their moustaches bristling with anticipation. This snapshot transports us back to an era when baseball was still evolving into the major league sport it is today. The outdoor setting and presence of an umpire remind us of its humble beginnings on dusty fields across North America. Wood engraver Thure de Thulstrup masterfully brings this historic moment to life through his intricate lines and attention to detail. This print serves as a testament not only to Ewing's exceptional slide but also to the enduring legacy of American baseball. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear the cheers from fans filling up those grandstands over a century ago. It reminds us why this timeless sport continues to captivate audiences worldwide - because every game has moments like these that etch themselves into our collective memory forever.
