Covering Left Field picture postcard
Datecirca 1910
DescriptionA black-and-white picture postcard of an unidentified actor, right, and and unidentified actress, left, captured posing with one another. Both the man and woman are dressed in baseball uniforms. The woman's uniform reads Elmwood across the front. The woman is turned towards the camera with a smile and her arms are stretched out in front and in back of her. The man has his one arm stretched out up above his head catching a ball and he is holding his baseball glove against the actresses left chest. A caption on the front of the picture postcard reads, "Covering left field." There is writing on the reverse but it is too faint to read. Based on similar postcards, this picture postcard was produced around 1910.
