Circa
1863 Union
Soldiers At
Salisbury N. C. Chromolithograph
Print 40
1/2 inches wide by 23 1/5 inches tall
Published in 1863 by Goupil & Co., New York, from a lithograph by
Sarony, Major & Knapp, NY |
|
This magnificent full-color print is universally recognized as the premier 1860s baseball lithograph as well as being one of the earliest color renditions featuring baseball as a subject. The striking illustration depicts Union prisoners playing baseball under Confederate guard in Salisbury, North Carolina. The print, published in 1863 by Goupil & Co., New York, from a lithograph by Sarony, Major & Knapp (449 Broadway, N. York) is titled "Union Prisoners at Salisbury, N.C." This is one of the most impressive and historically important of all baseball display pieces. There are probably no more than a dozen "Union Prisoners" prints known to exist. This is an exceptional example of what most advanced collectors consider to be the most significant of all nineteenth-century baseball lithographs. The print is of special historical significance in that the Civil War was largely responsible for the game of baseball spreading throughout the country. Thousands of soldiers learned to play baseball during the Civil War, and upon returning home, they introduced the game to friends and neighbors in their hometowns. In a very short period of time, the sport was played in every town in the land, soon earning the title "The National Pastime."
