Large 9 1/2" x 7 1/2" Black and White Linen backed photo taken in 1910 of Gimbel Brothers Department Store Sports Display showing over a dozen small, medium and large images of Philadelphia A's and Chicago Cubs players, with a large photo of Connie Mack in the center. All of this flanked by sporting goods of all kinds. Also, most importantly, is included the correspondence between Jos. A Pearce for the company providing the photos and J. H. Field of Gimbels, the Chief of their Decorating Dept. There is one page of carbon text and two pages which are photocopies of the carbon and another letter from a different date. All of this was of course in preparing the display for the upcoming World Series between the A's and Cubs. Quite an interesting piece of history.
