No. #1 pick

Lot No. 1052

44 3/4" wide by 26" tall

"FOOT BALL"

ENGRAVING/PRINT

BY THOMAS WEBSTER

SOLD FOR

$600.00

 

I consider this one of the most important football art works, and arguably the most important 'work of art on paper' featuring football. Though English, it captures, large  and poignant, the embryonic innocence of the game from which today's college and NFL game developed. I would put it up nearly as football's answer to baseball's "Union Prisoners at Salisbury North Carolina". Hans Gerretzen of the Netherlands, one of the world's foremost soccer/Euro football collectors advised me it's quite rare in good condition, and he's seen very few even in Europe. Moreover, this example is only the second one I've seen for sale or auction. The other I acquired and have in my collection. -Carlton
