Baseball Scene 1880 - 1900

"Baseball Scene" is a chromolithograph created by the artistic duo Beatty and Votteler between 1880 and 1900. The print depicts a lively baseball game, capturing the excitement of the sport at the end of the 19th century. The scene is set in a stadium, with a crowd of spectators watching the game. In the foreground, a batter prepares to swing at the ball while a catcher stands ready to catch it. The print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, provides a glimpse into the popularity of baseball during this period.
