I acquired this antique football photo from a sports memorabilia auction in Ohio. From what I could find, these boys likely played together some time between 1904 and 1924 — based on their lack of pads and their branded turtleneck sweaters.
I repaired a single tear on the left side of the photo and was delighted to see that there was actually a slice in the negative, severing the shoulder of one boy and the cheek of another. I love photo scars like these.
On this photo, I painted a soft, dream-like woman, mirroring the elegant composition of the boys, lying about.
The nostalgic photo measures 4 in. x 5 in. It is mounted on deep red velvet and framed in an antiqued gold frame, measuring 10.5 in. x 9.5 in. This artwork ships framed and ready to ship.
