Beaumont, Boston, National League, from the White Border series (T206) for the American Tobacco Company 1909 - 1911

This is a baseball card from the T206 series produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. The card depicts "Beaumont, Boston Nat'l," a baseball player wearing a white uniform with a blue collar and the Boston team's red "B" on the chest. The card is a prime example of early 20th-century American sports card collecting, with its simple design and focus on the player's image. The image is framed against a bold red background, creating a striking visual contrast. T206 cards are highly sought after by collectors, and this example, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the cultural significance of baseball in American society at the turn of the century.
