Gigantic cabinet photo produced by noted sports photographer Gilbert & Bacon who are better-known in the hobby for their 19th Century baseball cabinets. This example measures an enormous 20" x 18" and pictures the Philadelphia City College relay team winner of the 1922 University of Pennsylvania one-mile relay. The photo is fantastic clear and detailed measuring 16" x 11" by iteslef. The mount exhibits the type of surface edge and coner wear one would expect from a photo this size and nearly 100 years old with the most noteable wear visible on the bottom-left corner. Smoe wear and tear along with a bit of paper loss is also visible on the reverse. A beautiful vintage photo of an amateur track and field team.
