Fantastic and rare sepia tone Montreal Maroons photos issued during the 1927-28 by Montreal's La Patrie are a great find indeed. Offered here is a collection of 10 of these remarkable original newspaper photos featuring the likes of Nels Stewart, Dunc Munro, Jimmy Ward, Babe Siebert, Red Dutton, Bill Phillips, Russell Oatman, Hooley Smith, Frank Carson and Hap Emms. Like they did with their well known Canadiens set featuring Morenz, Joliat and Hainsworth, La Patrie published these Maroons pictures on the second page of their Sunday edition from December 1927 through to March 1928, with the dates appearing on the front page on the reverse. A complete set likely consisted of 13 since three Sundays - January 7 & 14 and February 18 - are not included here. These 82-year-old newspaper pictures remain in fantastic condition overall, all neatly cut around to retain their 8 1/2" x 12" outer frame. Possibly the largest set of its kind in existence.
