Framed Vintage Baseball Art
Baseball has long been considered the great American pastime. With a longstanding culture and a massive following, baseball has cultivated an audience and garnered an impressive influence on many facets of culture, one of which is its influence on art and decor— readily visible in the form of framed vintage baseball posters.
Far beyond simply being collector’s items, posters such as these are timepieces of bygone days, and emblems of the profound impact of baseball culture on American culture.
Within the style of framed vintage baseball posters, there are still a wide variety of options. For baseball fans who want a look at the historical evolution of their favorite iconic stadiums, there are full-scale photographs of Ebbets Field, Wrigley Stadium, Yankee Stadium, and others from as far back as the 1920s. These beautiful sepia – toned or monochromatic posters appeal to those who enjoy the nostalgia of the sport and its rich history.
Another type of framed vintage baseball poster art that enjoys a high degree of popularity is that of player photographs. Who doesn’t want to see the rare intimate moments captured on film where Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth posed together in the dugout? Or catch on overhead action shot of Jackie Robinson stealing home? Or Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio in their prime mid – swing?
But at the end of the day, even without the famous fields and big names and iconic faces, the atmosphere of baseball is enough to inspire artists in its own right. Photographs of the crowd at the Pittsburgh World Series in 1960 or the 1939 World Series may not capture any legends, but they capture the enthusiasm that has so long defined baseball fans.
