Classic Football Art: Originally Published in 19th Century Newspapers: Hundreds of Illustrations from the Dawn of the Great American Game (The Lost Century of Sports Collection)

You've never seen football like this before! The largest collection of 19th century football art ever published -- Hundreds of illustrations. This visual time capsule reveals how football began and evolved, and how most Americans were introduced to the game before the advent of action photography. Illustrators include Frederic Remington, Charles Dana Gibson, A.B. Frost, Edward Penfield, I.R. Wiles, W.T. Smedley, Charles J. Taylor, and many other talented artists. Without these works of art, we would have no visual record of the early American game. The 8.5 x 11 inch art book includes a chronological Table of Contents and a full Index with dozens of source publications. The images were scanned from original sources and restored by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. Other football books in The Lost Century of Sports Collection include The Lost Century of American Football, The American Football Trilogy, The First Decade of College Football, Football Linemen, and Walter Camp in Print.
