What do we see in this work of art?

The artwork “19th Century Baseball” printed on canvas depicts an exciting sports scene in which two teams compete against each other. The artwork was created by Henry Sandham in the late 1800s and is now housed in the Boston Public Library. It depicts a baseball field, some players and a referee practicing their sport on a pleasant summer day. In the background we see a hilly landscape and the spectators who have gathered in the stands to watch the competition. The field is fenced and American flags fly, embodying the free spirit and pride of the USA. The image is mostly in green and brown tones. The players in their white, red and black uniforms stand out well. Although baseball is not widespread in our part of the world, it is undoubtedly one of the main sports in the United States. The work expresses, on the one hand, the artist's connection to this sport, but on the other hand, his connection to the American spirit, which strives for freedom and greatness.

Printed on canvas, this 19th Century Baseball Wall Art brings a sporty energy, even if it looks rather cozy to modern eyes. We recommend this work to all sports fans who want to bring a piece of history of the USA's most popular sport into their home. This work fits perfectly in a hobby room or in a kitchen.
